QUINTA DO INFANTADO LATE BOTTLED VINTAGE PORT 2004
The quality of a Port house's LBV is often the best indicator to the quality of the wines overall. This wine spent four years in cask prior to being bottled to soften the tannins and add complexity. It was then bottled unfiltered to retain the deep and ripe flavours and therefore needs decanting before drinking. However, the effort is truly worth it!
VINEYARD
The Quinta do Infantado Ports are grown, made and bottled at the Quinta (Estate). The Quinta is located near Pinhão, at an altitude of 150 metres, in a sub-region called Gontelho, which has long been renowned as a source of outstanding Port.
All the vineyards are class A (the best in Douro Valley).
GRAPE VARIETIES
Tinta Roriz, Touriga Francesca, Touriga Nacio
VINIFICATION
The grapes are foot trodden and are fermented in
lagar
. This is a hallmark of Quinta do Infantado and, together with the quality of the grapes, is of great importance for the quality of these Ports.
At Quinta do Infantado, the fermentation lasts longer and the Ports are drier in style than at some other houses. 77% alc./vol wine brandy is used to stop fermentation.
TASTING NOTE
The wine has a tremendous depth of colour, with ripe red fruit and chocolate perfumes on the nose. On the palate the wine is rich and sweet, but beautifully balanced by well-integrated tannins and a chocolate, plum and savoury cherry fruit. The finish is elegant and clean, with fine, delicate perfumes of warm, ripe fruit.
