Pombal do Vesúvio 2021 - Red
Pombal do Vesúvio 2021 - Red
Pombal do Vesúvio has a wide aromatic range encompassing fig, rock rose, fennel, lavender, and a hint of dry pine needles. Full-bodied on the palate with expressive tannins that define poise and power, complemented by good levels of acidity, which deliver great balance. Vigorous, whilst graceful, with tension and grip suggesting good ageing potential in bottle. A great companion wine for rich, well-seasoned dishes.
Quinta do Vesúvio is widely regarded as one of the most iconic properties in the Douro, with a magnificent estate house and chapel overlooking the river. The estate dates to 1823 when the first vines were planted and construction began on the winery, which is still in use today for producing the property’s Vintage Ports in granite foot-treading tanks.
