Vibrant deep purple with fruit of great purity and freshness. Aromatic notes of lavender. Beautifully integrated wood. Weighty and tight, with tremendous structure. Taut but polished tannins. Concentrated on the palate with bold, expressive black-fruit flavours.
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.
