Product Notes

Warre's Bottle Aged Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) presents a deep ruby colour with aromas of fruity, balsamic and spicy notes. This port wine is produced from a single vintage, so it has a very particular character, showing off the best qualities of that specific year. The Warre's Bottle Aged LBV is aged for four to six years in oak barrels, and then spends more time in the bottle before being sold. This process allows the tannins to mellow and the fruit flavour profile to deepen, creating a smooth and well-rounded wine. With a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, this port finishes with a long and complex finish. Ideal to pair with mature cheese, dark chocolate, or rich fruit desserts.

Tasting Notes

Near impenetrable colour, just beginning to fade slightly on the rim. Very lifted, floral bouquet of fresh lavender and violets. Multilayered on the palate with liquorice and cassis coating the succulent dark cherry and blackberry flavours. Broad and taught with schist tannins and fresh acidity giving the wine structure, balance and elegance. A wine to enjoy now, or through the next decade.

About the Winery

Warre’s Wines was established in 1870, but the roots for this company were developed during as early as 1670. It was during this time that two men from England, William Burgoyne and John Jackson decided to start a trading company in the north part of Portugal. Today, Warre’s Wines are one of the most popular wine brands in the country.

These wines are crafted from grapes grown across many vineyards including the Quinta da Cavadinha, Quinta do Retiro Antigo, Quinta da Telhada and a new experimental vineyard.

Quinta da Canvadinha

The grapes that grow here mostly have a thick skin and concentrated juice inside. Old vines occupy a major proportion of these vineyards. You will find vines of various altitudes here. While the grapes grown at elevated levels are known for their elegance, the fruits grown at low heights, near the Pinaho River, are known for their dark reddish hue and intense flavours.

Quinta do Retiro Antigo

Retiro wines are known for their intensity and ageing potential. They have a powerful tannin-finish and are dominated by violets and mint flavours. These are some of the oldest vines you will find in the entire Douro Valley, because 73% of the vineyards were planted during the early part of 19th century!

Quinta da Telhada

The unique grape varietals grown in these vineyards are known for their distinct black chocolate & blackcurrant fragrance. This is because of the natural extravaganza and superior soil quality found in the Touriga Nacional area.

Experimental Vineyard

Thanks to the success of the old vines cultivations, the Warre family wanted to explore newer vineyards and the blend the best of traditional & modern winemaking methods to craft the best quality of wines. With the same climatic and soil quantities as the old vineyards, these experimental vineyards gave a good platform for the Warre family to understand the potential of vine cultivation here.
