Winemaking:
This is perhaps the most iconic of our Ports. Dirk Niepoort calls it the "younger brother" of the Vintage Port, once the origin of the grapes and vinification methods are identical. Both are made ​​from a selection of full-bodied wines of high quality, produced in a single year. The time this wine spends in large wooden vats ageing (4 years) allows it to mature and settle down, being ready to drink young and right after bottling. Vinification: The grapes used on the production of LBV 2008 are from selected parcels of vineyards with low yield in the Cima Corgo region of the Douro valley. Grapes were trodden in stone lagares and the wine was then transferred to Vila Nova de Gaia cellars where it matured in large wooden vats. At Niepoort the tradition is to bottle the LBV’s four years after the harvest to retain all the freshness and fruit, characteristic of these wines.
