Tasting Notes

Storing and Serving

Vista Alegre LBV Port should be stored in a horizontal position, at a constant temperature and away from intense direct light. It is produced with a cylindrical, natural cork, like a Vintage Port. This is a traditional LBV, so oxygenation is kept to a minimum. Due to this the wine should be consumed in a few days after opening and decanting. The optimal temperature for serving the wine is between 14º C and 16º C.

Food Pairing

Vista Alegre LBV Port is a great pairing with several kinds of cheeses and desserts made from chocolate, cream, coffee as well as fresh fruits, red fruits and wild fruits, prunes and pineapple. It also harmonizes perfectly with ham and smoked ham.
