Product details
Quinta do Vesuvio is arguably the most magnificent estate in the Douro Valley. Located in the beautiful and austere Port wine region of the Upper Douro Valley, its history dates back to the 16th century. All grapes are hand-harvested, with meticulous selection. Vesuvio is one of the very few estates in the Douro where all the wines are produced using the traditional method of treading in granite lagares, among the largest in the Douro Valley, and offered exclusively as a single Quinta Vintage Port. These classic and monumental wines boast a fabulous, fruit-rich character.
