Winemaking:
Late Bottle Vintage was originally a wine that had been destined for bottling as Vintage Port, but because of a lack of demand, was kept in large wooden cask for longer than had been planned. Late Bottled Vintage ages in cask for a minimum of four and a maximum of six years after the harvest. Because of this long ageing in wood, the LBV´s are less astringent and full bodied than Vintage ports. Considered by many the best relationship quality/price, the LBV has the advantage of being ready to be drunk without decanting. Typically ready to drink when released to the market, LBV ports are the result of a single year harvest and tend to be smoother and lighter bodied than a Vintage Port.
