One of the first producers in the area to embrace the winemaking revolution in the early 1990s. La Rosa is now known for its premium wines and 'drier style' ports.
Jorge Moreira, one of Portugal's finest winemakers, has been at Quinta de la Rosa since 2002 and has helped to establish their reputation as one of Portugal's leading wineries.
This Late Bottled Vintage is an extremely high-quality port made from some of the best wines of the vintage. The traditional port varieties tend to be sourced parcels nearer the river with older vines and greater sun exposure. The grapes were foot trodden in granite lagares in the traditional manner before aging in large oak 'tonels' for 4 years, in which time it naturally sediments before bottling. it's dense and structured but with wonderful fruit and vibrant tannins.
