Purchased by French philanthropist \u003cstrong\u003ePhilippe Austruy \u003c\/strong\u003e(owner of Commanderie de Peyrassol in Provence) and architecturally reimagined by \u003cstrong\u003ePierre Yovanovitch\u003c\/strong\u003e, the estate is now a beacon of modernity rooted in tradition. Located in the \"\u003cstrong\u003eCima Corgo\u003c\/strong\u003e\", this Late Bottled Vintage (\u003cem\u003eLBV\u003c\/em\u003e) serves as the perfect bridge between their accessible entry-level wines and their monumental Vintage Ports. While a \"Vintage\" Port is bottled after two years, an LBV is aged in wood for four to six years. This extra patience allows the wine to soften and become approachable sooner, offering the complexity of a great Port without the need for decades of cellaring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTerroir:\u003c\/b\u003e The vines cling to steep, terraced slopes of pure \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"59\"\u003eschist\u003c\/b\u003e in the Valença do Douro area.
