✨ Technical Specifications
Averys of Bristol has a legendary history of sourcing and bottling Port, dating back to the era when Bristol was the primary UK gateway for Portuguese wines. Their Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Port is sourced from premium vineyards in the rugged, schist-carved Douro Valley. Aged in large oak vats for four to six years before bottling, this wine bridges the gap between the youthful intensity of a Ruby Port and the refined complexity of a Vintage Port. The extended wood aging mellows the tannins and coaxes out deep, concentrated flavors of dark bramble fruit, cocoa, and warming spices, delivering a classic, robust style that pays homage to the historic British preference for rich, structured fortified wines.
