At Niel Joubert Wines, we are proud to release a truly rare and remarkable fortified wine: the NAMMI LBV 2004 (Late Bottled Vintage).
This limited-edition wine is a Cape LBV of exceptional pedigree – 20 years in the making, and now ready for you to enjoy.
A LBV (Late Bottled Vintage) is a Cape (or “Port,” as it used to be known) style of fortified wine that is full-bodied and dark, with signs of a tawny colour or tawny character developing. According to South African wine legislation, it is to be matured in oak barrel and in bottle for at least 3 years. 85% of the wine in bottle shall be of a single vintage year and this wine must be certified and sold as a vintage wine – i.e. with year of vintage denoted on the label. This rare style of “Port” is immediately accessible due to its extended time in barrel, offering the best of a matured Cape Vintage without the need for further cellaring.
The Niel Joubert “Nammi” LBV 2004 offer just that, and more!
