Quinta do Vesuvio Douro 2022

Quinta do Vesúvio Douro embodies the rare mix of power and elegance. Grown on steep schist and granite slopes rising from the Douro River, the vines benefit from unique soils and dramatic altitude changes.

Predominantly composed of Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional (with a touch of Tinta Amarela), this wine is hand-crafted with an eye to age. The result delivers an aromatic profile of rose-petal and rock-rose, dark berries, spice and a hint of resinous herbs.

On the palate, it offers concentrated black plum and bramble fruit, finely grained yet firm tannins, and a taut acidity that carries the long, mineral-tinged finish. Each sip speaks of the rugged terrain and disciplined winemaking—ready to enjoy now with decanting, yet built for cellaring.

Whether you’re marking a special occasion or simply connecting with the heart of the Douro, this wine delivers grace, depth and presence in every glass.

Quinta do Vesuvio dates back to 1827 and has long been considered one of the finest vineyards in Portugal. It was originally owned by the legendary Antónia Adelaide Ferreira, a visionary woman who revolutionized winemaking in the Douro. Back in the 19th century, when most estates struggled with disease and economic hardship, she expanded and modernized Vesuvio, helping to set the standard for quality winemaking in the region.

Today, the estate is owned by the Symington family—one of the great names in Port and Douro winemaking, with over 130 years of experience. They continue to produce top-quality Ports and dry red wines from this extraordinary property.
