The Warre’s 2015 Late Bottled Vintage (‘LBV’) comes exclusively from prime quality vineyards in the Pinhão Valley, Rio Torto Valley and Douro Superior areas of the Demarcated Douro Region, all of them owned by Warre’s. Late Bottled Vintage is so named because the final LBV blend is bottled later — between the fourth and sixth year — than Vintage Ports, which are bottled two years after the harvest.
Furthermore, Late Bottled Vintage, unlike Vintage Port, is aged exclusively in wood and once bottled it is ready for immediate drinking and does not require decanting because it is filtered prior to bottling.
