Wine Description:
Fonseca Guimaraens Vintage Port is a premium fortified wine produced by the renowned Portuguese winery, Fonseca. The grapes are sourced from the Douro Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its steep terraced vineyards and unique microclimate. The winemaking process involves traditional foot treading in granite lagares, followed by aging in oak barrels for several years. The resulting wine is a rich and complex blend of dark fruit flavors, with notes of chocolate, spice, and tobacco. This vintage port is a perfect example of the classic style of the region, with a long and elegant finish that will continue to develop with age.

Winemaker Dirk van der Niepoort dubs it the "little brother" of his Vintage Ports. Why? Because it shares its origin with grapes from the same areas within the estate in the Cima Corgo region, Vale de Mendiz. These over seventy-year-old vines yield limited fruit with highly expressive aromas. The winemaking process mirrors that of its counterpart. Grapes are meticulously handpicked, then traditionally foot-trodden in Lagares. The wine matures in large wooden barrels known as "balseiros" in Gaia. Niepoort bottles their LBV four to six years after harvest, resulting in a truly exceptional wine with a character all its own.
