Quinta da Valeira Late Bottled Vintage Ruby Port 500ml

Winemaker Cláudia Quevedo on the winery

“Our vineyards lie high on the slopes of the Douro Valley, where sunshine, varying elevations and stony soils combine to produce grapes with real character. We work with traditional Portuguese grape varieties and pay close attention to selecting our fruit. Our winemaker, Cláudia Quevedo, aims to express the power and distinctive character of the Douro while preserving freshness and balance. With our Port wines, we combine the region’s rich heritage with a precise, modern approach, allowing the fruit and its origins to take centre stage.”

And on Oporto, Portugal

“Our Late Bottled Vintage, or LBV, is made from grapes harvested in a single vintage. Unlike Vintage Port, it spends longer ageing in wooden casks, typically four to six years, before bottling. We use traditional grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz and Sousão. The extended cask ageing helps balance the wine’s powerful structure while preserving its rich fruit character. In the glass, you’ll discover ripe dark cherries, plums and blackberries, complemented by a peppery spice note and firm yet mature tannins. The finish is intense, structured and long-lasting.”
