Vintage Report

The 2019 harvest year was outstanding for this Ramos Pinto LBV, which made the production of this Late Bottled Vintage possible. The conditions were ideal, resulting in a port of exceptional quality.

This Ramos Pinto LBV, which stands for Late Bottled Vintage, is a blend of Sousão, Touriga Franca, and Touriga Nacional grapes. This port is aged in oak barrels for four to six years, unlike a vintage port, which only ages in wood for two years before bottling. As a result of this extended oak contact, LBV ports develop mature, fruity flavors at a younger age, offering much of the character of a vintage port without the wait and at a lower price.

The quality of the earth

Founded in 1880, Ramos Pinto is a classic port house with a rich history. Quality is always paramount at this house. They use only grapes from their own vineyards, which is quite unusual in the Douro. Their philosophy is that the quality of their wines begins in the soil of the Douro region. This philosophy remains true today, resulting in exceptional wines that can be enjoyed again and again. This Ramos Pinto LBV, or Late Bottle Vintage, is a port made from a single vintage of grapes. These LBV ports can only be produced if a vintage is outstanding. This Ramos Pinto is also outstanding, with a beautiful aroma of sour cherry, delicious dark chocolate, and a distinctly resinous quality. The young port is aged for at least four years in oak "Port pipes." Here, it matures and is then bottled without sediment. Therefore, decanting this Ramos Pinto LBV is not recommended.

What does Ramos Pinto LBV taste like?

It has very deep red and bluish reflections in the glass. This LBV is intense, full-bodied, and on the palate, it's soft and rounded, emphasizing youthfulness and fruitiness. The palate reveals hints of red fruit, spices, a touch of vanilla and cherries, grapes, and fresh raisins. In short, a delicious port that's not too heavy and pairs beautifully with full-bodied cheeses, as well as chocolate desserts. This wine pairs well with cheese soufflé, partridge with glazed shallots and artichokes, game, cheeses, chocolate, and red fruit desserts.
