Description

There are three over-riding factors to explain the quality of the 2009 Vesuvio; the selection of fruit from 250 metres and higher, the high percent of heat-resistant Touriga Franca (36% of the blend) and the renaissance of the equally resilient Sousâo Varietal. All three of these factors have conspired to produce a rich, brambly and muscular Vesuvio, its signature elegance in no way compromised by glorious power.

About this wine

Quinta do Vesuvio

As a general rule, the further one travels up the Douro, the better the quality and concentration found in the fruit, though as a result of the drier conditions, the quantities are greatly reduced. The Symington Group took the plunge in 1989 and purchased Quinta do Vesuvio, which despite its remoteness, has to be the grandest quinta, with about 400 hectares of which about 100 are covered with the finest vines.
