Smith Woodhouse Late Bottled Vintage Port

Smith Woodhouse is a historic name in the world of Port wine, originally founded in 1784 by Christopher Smith, who was later joined by the Woodhouse brothers. The brand has built a reputation for producing high-quality wines, particularly their vintage and late bottled vintage (LBV) selections. This specific 2011 Late Bottled Vintage Port is crafted from grapes grown in the Douro Valley of Portugal, the only region in the world legally allowed to produce authentic Port.

In 1970, the Smith Woodhouse brand was acquired by the Symington family, one of the most prominent families in the Port trade. Today, the brand is owned and managed by Symington Family Estates. The family remains deeply involved in every aspect of production, from vineyard management at Quinta da Madalena to the final bottling process. Their ownership ensures that the traditional methods of Port making are preserved while meeting modern quality standards.
