Additional Information: Quinta do Portal consists of four different estates, one of which, Quinta dos Muros, has been in the family for over a century. Pascal Chatonnet, from the Institut d'Oenologie in Bordeaux, has been working as a consultant with winemaker Paulo Coutinho in the areas of vinification and barrel aging since the winery began, and rightly have a well deserved reputation for quality wine. Most of the vineyards lie at higher than average altitude for the Douro, producing a fresher style of wine.

The LBV Ports are only produced in years of excellent quality, and are bottled four years after harvest, aged in wood longer than vintage port. They are unfiltered so decanting is recommended. Drinking well now but will continue to age.
