Tasting Note

Wide aromatic range, encompassing fig, rock rose, fennel, lavender, and a hint of dry pine needles. Full-bodied on the palate with expressive tannins that define poise and power, complemented by good levels of acidity, which deliver great balance. Vigorous, whilst graceful, with tension and grip suggesting good ageing potential in bottle.

Product Notes

Quinta do Vesúvio Pombal do Vesuvio Douro Red wine is a Portuguese luxury, boasting deep, rich flavours of ripe black fruits with a hint of spice. Its palate is beautifully balanced, offering robust, velvety tannins and an intriguing minerality, reflecting the Douro region's terroir. The wine's attractive dark ruby hue forebodes its complexity and depth, a testament to traditional winemaking techniques. Its harmonious blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Amarela renders delightful notes of dark chocolate and blackberry. Maturing gracefully in French oak barrels, it's a red wine that shines with opulence and elegance.
