MAGALHÃES LBV 2014
Quinta do Silval produces LBV (Late Bottled Vintage) wine from its vintage
wines, being the only difference that distinguishes the wines is the aging time
before being bottled. Quinta do Silval’s LBVs are truly vintage wines, living up
to the category they represent, which is not common in the Douro region,
where most of the LBVs are produced as being lower quality wines in
comparison to the vintage. This LBV is also a best in class. All the grapes were
picked by hand. Additionally, a grape selection at harvesting and at the
entrance to the winery was taken into consideration before fermentation. The
fermentation took place in stainless steel vats with complete destemming
and temperature control. The fortification was of course with excellent quality
wine spirits (77% vol.). Aged for 4 years with controlled temperature, where it
softens and ages without losing its freshness, its intense fruity character and its
deep ruby color. A deep garnet colour and fresh aromas of red fruits and
blackberries. The palate is full-bodied, with a black fruit flavour and firm
tannins well integrated.
