Quevedo - LBV 2017 port - 50ml

Quevedo's 2017 Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Port is a noteworthy expression of the Douro Valley's viniculture, crafted by the Quevedo family, who are known for their commitment to quality and tradition in winemaking. This LBV is sourced from the winery's quintas located in Vale d’Agodinho and Trovisca, regions characterized by their unique micro-climates that contribute to the complexity of the wines produced.

The primary grape varieties used in this LBV are traditional Portuguese varietals, with a focus on those that thrive in the Douro's terraced vineyards. The grapes undergo a meticulous selection process, ensuring that only the best fruit is used for this vintage. The wine is aged partly in tank and partly in wood, allowing it to develop a balance of freshness and depth.

Tasting notes for the 2017 Quevedo LBV reveal a vibrant profile. The wine exhibits a saturated ruby color, with an aromatic bouquet dominated by fresh violet notes intermingled with dark cherries and subtle spices. On the palate, it is characterized by a full-bodied presence of red fruits, complemented by a light and lifted texture. While it may not be the richest LBV from Quevedo, it stands out for its focus, length on the finish, and expressive character, making it enjoyable both immediately and with potential for further aging.
