Quinta do Vesúvio 2022 Vintage Port - 75cl

Considered to be one of the most magnificent estates in the Douro Valley, Quinta do Vesúvio is the last major property in the region to produce its ports exclusively using the traditional method of treading in granite lagares – an unbroken tradition since the winery was built in 1827.

The estate is located in the Douro Superior, the demarcated region’s hottest and driest sub- region with just 470 mm average annual rainfall. The property’s sheer size (326 hectares) and mountainous terrain result in varied aspects, predominantly north and northwest, as it occupies a south bank position along the Douro River. The vineyards are laid out along varying altitudes, ranging from 110 metres up to almost 500 metres above sea level. These two variables are important features of the property’s terroir; combined they shield the vineyard from excessive heat.

Quinta do Vesúvio 2022 Vintage Port is drawn from the very best wines produced from across this 140-hectare estate in the Douro Superior. It is characterised by Quinta do Vesúvio’s signature power and finesse. It has succulent, ripe red and black fruit flavours, balanced with fine-grained tannins to provide flawless elegance and poise. It shows great vitality and freshness with a long, seductive finish.
