Quinta do Vesuvio is arguably the most magnificent estate in the Douro valley. Located in the beautiful and austere grape-growing region of the Upper Douro Valley, its history dates back to the 16th Century.
All of the grapes are hand-picked, with a careful selection being made. Vesuvio is one of the very few estates in the Douro where all of the wines are made using the traditional treading method in granite lagares, among the largest in the Douro valley, and offered exclusively as a single Quinta Vintage Port.
Vesuvio is now ranked as one of the top-tier Vintage Port producers.
Winemaking >
"We had a very dry and mild winter and spring, and by late summer the vines were in need
of water to keep maturations on track. Fortunately, the virtual absence of rain from May
to late August was counterbalanced by cooler summer conditions, which attenuated the
lack of water. Fortunately, some rainfall in late August and ideal conditions through
September, led to a balanced ripening of the various components of the grapes – reflected
in the excellent balance between acidity and sugar levels. Yields were very close to average
after the two very short years of 2017 and 2018. The grapes entered the winery in excellent
condition with well-balanced ripeness. Freshness and vibrancy are the signature of the
2019 wines. "
