A complex nose combining plum, mulberry, ripe strawberry and brown spice with delicate floral and
violet notes. Tannins are firm and pleasingly supported with plump fruit and a rounded texture, giving
a good lengthy finish.Perfect with wild boar sausages, venison, roast lamb or gamey stews.Suitable for vegans.Suitable for vegetarians.Made from Nebbiolo grapes cultivated around the town of Barolo in southern Piemonte. These are
trained on a low Guyot trellis at a density 4-5,000 vines/ha. The grapes were hand-harvested, de stemmed and then crushed to small fermenters, for around 12 days, with daily pumping-over. This
ensures good colour and flavour extraction, but avoids over extraction of the abundant Nebbiolo
tannins. The wine was drained off at dryness, and the skins transferred to a small press. After pressing
the wine was settled for two days, and then racked to stainless steel tanks for malolactic fermentation.
After three years maturation in 50hl Slavonian oak casks it was racked and bottled.
Rich plum and berry fruit with a touch of spice on the nose. Balanced yet concentrated red fruit mingles with darker spice and chocolate characters to give weight and layers to the palate. Plump ripe tannins add grip to this classic style of Garnacha.A perfect accompaniment to chicken dishes, paella or chorizo.Suitable for vegetarians."Possibly the single greatest dry red wine value in the world, this is an unbelievable wine …any wine retailer worth his weight should be stockpiling this wine next to the cash register ...I don’t understand how anyone can makewines this good to sell at this price… 90 points.” Robert Parker, the Wine AdvocateAwards2019 vintage Silver Medal in Decanter wine Awards 2020
Deep, inky purple core with a bricking red rim. Rich, luscious and highly perfumed
nose. Notes of blackberry, wild plum, logan berry, liquorice and a wonderful tension.
Cloudberries give that added layer of soft, plump fruit, a mix of raspberry and
redcurrant, with a hint of floral sweetness. On the palate, spice, brambles, assam
tea with its traces of dark chocolate, cocoa and an alluring herbaceous hint. Good
grip, concentration of dark woodland fruit, silky tannins and a fresh bright finish,
with incredible length. A powerful and uncompromising Unfiltered Late Bottled
Vintage retaining every ounce of aroma and flavour. How to serve: Fonseca LBV is the perfect finish to any meal. Late Bottled Vintage is bottled when
ready to drink. It benefits from being decanted and is excellent with fully flavoured
cheeses, especially blue cheeses such as Stilton or Roquefort. It is also delicious with
desserts made with chocolate or berry fruits.“Deep colour with mostly black fruits on the nose. a touch green
and herbal yet satisfying flavours. really good value.” 90 points
