Vieira de Sousa Late Bottled Vintage Port 2012

Vieira de Sousa Late Bottled Vintage Port 2012 is a Portuguese LBV Port from the Douro, made by a family house from Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa and Tinta Roriz grown on old vines. It is a rich, ready to drink Port that gives you much of the pleasure of a Vintage, with no need to decant or wait.

Tasting notes

Expect the house LBV style: a deep, bright colour, concentrated red fruit, fine tannins and plenty of volume, with fresh acidity that keeps it balanced and makes the next sip easy.

Food pairing

Serve it with a ripe Serra da Estrela or a blue cheese, dark chocolate cake, roast duck with figs, or on its own at the end of a meal.
