Winemaking:Hand-harvest at their best moment, the grapes are destemmed, crushed and vinified in a careful maceration with extraction of colour, tannins and aromas of the pellicles, complemented by permanent pumping-over during fermentation. This process takes place in vats at a controlled temperature between 28-30oC, until reaching the desired Baume. At this phase grape brandy is added (benefit), originating a fortified wine. A wine of an exceptional quality, from a single harvest, bottled between the fourth and sixth year after the harvest.
Grape Varieties:
Old Vines
Tasting Notes:
Lively ruby colour. Attractive fresh aromas of dark fruit and cherry, with touches of spices. The taste shows wild fruit, wonderfully seductive and engaging. The firm tannins are well balanced by the strength of the fruit. Intense and concentrated wine, with a remarkable structure. Overwhelming and persistent finish.
Store and Serve Advices:
Serve at a temperature between 12 and 14 C.
Food Pairing:
The LBV is the ideal choice to serve with main courses of meat, like filet mignon encrusted four peppers and veal cutlet with Béarnaise sauce. Its versatility knows no borders, being perfect to combine with an exuberant cheesecake of chocolate mint, a pear and chocolate mille-feuille or simply to enjoy with cheeses of medium intensity. The multiplicity of possible harmonies is superb, having the consumer the pleasure to go in search of new flavours.
