Quinta do Vesuvio
Douro Superior, Douro Valley, Portugal
Rich, intense, opulent. Well-structured and ideal for ageing in your cellar. Strictly vintage only.
Quinta do Vesuvio only produces Vintage Port (i.e. no Tawny, Ruby etc) both in declared years and those which are not - though only the latter if conditions are of a very high enough standard. This ability to declare in most years is due to the quality of fruit produced on the estate, which is trodden by foot in stone lagares - the time-honoured method that the best producers use for making the best wines.
Established in 1565 Quinta do Vesuvio boasts some of the finest terroir in Douro and shouldn’t be missed by Port lovers.
