The Porto Late Bottle Vintage by Cristiano Van Zeller is a true tribute to the winemaking tradition of this historic Portuguese region. With an intense ruby color, this wine reveals a burst of aromas in the glass: ripe red fruits, notes of chocolate, and a subtle vein of sweet spices, imparted by the long aging in wooden barrels.
On the palate, the Late Bottle Vintage offers a perfect balance between the natural sweetness of the fruit and a well-defined tannic structure, resulting in a complex yet harmonious wine. The finish is persistent, with an aftertaste that invites you to take another sip. Aging in the bottle before being marketed further perfects its character, making it ideal to accompany chocolate desserts or aged cheeses.
Serve at a temperature of 16-18°C to appreciate all its nuances. This Porto is an excellent choice for those who wish to explore the richness of fortified wines on a special occasion or as a sophisticated gift.
