We loved the 2022 vintage of this wine, which was earthy dark and menacing! This latest vintage whilst still has some of the inviting notes of the previous vintage although more aromatic, immediate lifted fruits but not as intense and full bodied on the palate. Now 13.5% vol, as opposed to the previous 14% vol.
Quinta do Vesuvio is an impressive looking estate which is located in the heart of the Douro Superior, 120 kilometres from Portugal’s Atlantic coast and only 45 kilometres from the border with Spain.
Dark fruits, spices and herbal notes with the wine spending 10 months ageing in French oak barrels. Drink now and over the next 5 years.
