Description
Warre's Traditional Late Bottled Vintage Port is an unfiltered LBV from the Douro, made in the style the house itself pioneered.
Warre's was founded in 1670 and is the oldest of the British port houses, part of Symington Family Estates. Late Bottled Vintage was conceived as a way of offering vintage character without the decades of waiting, and Warre's was the first shipper to bottle one. The word traditional matters here: the wine spends around four to six years in cask, is bottled without filtration or fining, and is then given further age in bottle before release, so it throws a deposit and behaves much as a vintage port does. Most modern LBVs are filtered and made to be poured straight from the bottle.
Decant off the sediment and serve at around 16 degrees with Stilton, walnuts or dark chocolate; unopened bottles will keep and improve for a decade or more in a cool cellar.
*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur. If you are after a specific vintage, please contact us prior to ordering.
