Late Bottle Vintage Port starts out life just like true blue Vintage Port and is a blend of varieties from carefully selected vineyards. When Vintage Port is moved from barrel to bottle, LBV stays put for 4 to 5 years mellowing in barrel, developing wonderful depth of flavour. This is a real bonus as they are ready to go as soon as they get bottled and don't require further bottle ageing to reach their peak. It is dense and mouth-coating, full of plum and blackcurrant fruit with a lovely floral note that mixes with the classic Christmas cake spice. The tannins are lovely and tight, giving our exclusive Port a little more bite than other LBVs out there. Pair with a well-stocked cheeseboard or a rich chocolate torte and double cream.

"Heranca was first discussed during a buying trip in 2015. I wanted to have our own exclusive release and, some years later, this blend is totally singing. This is a rich style with a warm spicy Christmas pudding nose. Very soft on the palate, showing some evolution (as you'd expect) of a little leather. The finish is long and mellow with nice grip." - Dave Roberts, Wine Buyer.
