About 2020 Late Bottled Vintage Port, Ferreira, Douro, Portugal
The Ferreira 2020 Late Bottled Vintage Port is everything you could want from a classic LBV Port. Rich and beautifully balanced, it is packed with ripe blackberries, black cherries, plums and dark chocolate, layered with hints of liquorice, sweet spice and dried figs. Full-bodied yet wonderfully fresh, the velvety tannins and long, warming finish make this a superb Port to enjoy with blue cheese, chocolate desserts or simply by the fire after dinner.
Founded in 1751, Ferreira is one of Portugal's most historic and respected Port houses, renowned for producing exceptional wines from the spectacular Douro Valley. Unlike many famous Port producers, Ferreira has always remained proudly Portuguese, with a deep connection to the vineyards and traditions of the region. Their Late Bottled Vintage Port is made from a single outstanding harvest and matured for several years in oak before bottling, offering the depth and complexity of Vintage Port with the benefit of being ready to drink on release. It is a timeless expression of Douro winemaking and an excellent introduction to one of Portugal's greatest wine styles.
