Description

Quinta do Vesuvio Tech Sheet

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.

TASTING NOTE
A flourish of signature Vesúvio floral aromas of lavender and rockrose is followed by exquisitely fresh, ripe red fruit extracts with cherry predominating. Minerality and acidity take turns in delivering vitality and freshness on the palate. Flavours of succulent, ripe red and black fruit balance with fine-grained tannins to provide flawless elegance and poise, true to the great Vintages of Vesúvio. Long, seductive finish.

About Quinta do Vesuvio
Quinta do Vesúvio 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.
The estate’s mature vineyards in the Vale da Teja section of the property date from the 1970s and are a vital contribution to the wines in challenging years. These vines have a well-developed root system, enabling them to tap the water in the subsoil, providing vital sustenance through the dry summer conditions. They contribute to the incredible complexity and structure of Quinta do Vesúvio wines.
