TAYLOR'S - Porto - LBV - Late Bottled Vintage 2017
The Taylor's Port House is ideally located in Vila Nova de Gaia, on the south bank of the majestic Douro River, opposite the iconic city of Porto, in Portugal. Founded in 1692 by Job Bearsley, Taylor's is one of the oldest and most prestigious Port houses, boasting a rich heritage and expertise passed down for over three centuries. Today, the house is proudly managed by the Yeatman family, whose passionate commitment has marked more than 200 years of winemaking tradition. Taylor’s wines are made from rigorously selected grapes, mainly from exceptional vineyards in the Douro Valley, where the unique Mediterranean climate and diverse soils give the grapes unparalleled quality. In addition to its famous Port wines, Taylor’s also develops its talents in producing still wines in the Douro region and owns vineyards in other renowned Portuguese terroirs, notably in the Alentejo wine region, known for its rich soils and climate conducive to sustainable viticulture.
The LBV ("Late Bottled Vintage") Taylor's represents a high-end alternative, more accessible and quicker to enjoy than the famous classic vintage. This LBV comes from a meticulous selection of the best wines from a single year, thus guaranteeing consistent and exceptional quality. Unlike the traditional vintage, which spends about 20 months in barrels before maturing in the bottle, the LBV benefits from an extended aging of 4 to 6 years in large oak casks. This prolonged maturation in wood gives the wine an elegant structure and rich aromatic complexity, making this Port ready to be savored as soon as it is bottled, with intense notes of ripe red fruits, delicate spices, and the typical tannic character of great LBVs. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking a sophisticated, accessible, and ready-to-drink Port wine, Taylor’s LBV Late Bottled Vintage 2017 is the perfect example of Portuguese tradition and excellence.
