Porto Taylor’s LBV 2014 Gift Pack 75cl

49,00 

Contrariamente ao Porto Vintage, que é engarrafado após dois anos em madeira e que envelhece na garrafa, o LBV é engarrafado somente após quatro a seis anos, estando já pronto a beber.

A Taylor’s continua a liderar a categoria de Porto LBV no mundo inteiro, apesar de muitas outras casas também produzirem actualmente um LBV.

Os vinhos utilizados para fazer o lote do Taylor´s LBV são escolhidos de entre os melhores e mais encorpados vinhos do Porto tintos produzidos na colheita de 2014, provenientes das vinhas da Taylor´s e de outras quintas reputadas, situadas nas zonas do Cima Corgo e Douro Superior.

Cor púrpura-negra profunda, com uma auréola rubi vibrante e intensa. O nariz é inundado por bagas silvestres e os aromas pungentes das groselhas. À exuberância da fruta madura juntam-se as notas herbáceas, a menta, fugazes notas apimentadas e um subtil aroma a madeiras exóticas. No palato sentem-se os taninos firmes, sobressaindo uma acidez vibrante. Densos e exuberantes sabores a cassis, framboesas e alperces misturam-se num final maravilhosamente longo. Um LBV fiel ao estilo da Taylor’s, elegante e contido, de grande qualidade e pureza de fruta.

Description

For many, Taylor's is the most illustrious wine producing house in Port and drinking its wines constitutes the most sublime of experiences.

 

Created more than three centuries ago, in 1692, Taylor's is one of the oldest Port wine trading houses dedicated exclusively to the production of Port wine and, especially, its best styles.

Above all, Taylor's is an independent company in which some family members play leadership roles in all areas of activity. The company's long and uninterrupted family tradition has allowed it to provide continuity and clarity of mission, both essential attributes of any great Port wine house. It also allowed us to improve the skills and knowledge necessary to produce the best Ports, which are constantly refined in light of the experience that is passed from generation to generation.

Taylor's is also respected as a producer of wood-aged Port wines and holds one of the largest reserves of rare cask-aged wines, of which the distinctive aged Tawny Port wines stand out. The house is also known as the creator of LBV (Late Bottled Vintage), a style that the company pioneered and of which it continues to be the main producer.

Successive generations, with their experience, have strived to improve their knowledge and ability to produce increasingly better Port wines.

Based in Porto and the Douro region, the company is involved in all stages of the production of its Port wines, from planting the vineyard and growing the grapes to the elaboration, aging and bottling of wine batches. The family's commitment to the future of Port wine is demonstrated in its dedication to achieving the highest standards in Port wine production, its sustained investment in all areas of the company's operations and, ultimately, its determination to preserve the unique environment of the Douro region through the promotion of sustainable and responsible viticulture.
