Quinta do Vesuvio DOC Douro

Product Code: QV06ZZRC

Tasting Notes

"Seductively fresh and floral aromas of rose, secondary notes of clove and very discreet and well-integrated smoky flavours, show a perfect harmony between the usage of oak and the rest of the aromatic bouquet. The rich and fruit filled palate (blackberry, blueberry, black plum) and natural acidity of the wine give it a good weight and balance. Refined and well present tannins provide the imposing structure we are used to in Quinta do Vesúvio wines."

            [Notes2] => 
            [Notes3] => 
            [Notes4] => Rich and plush, with a mouth-filling luxurious palate showing very attractive mineral undertones. Displays complex and subtle aromas of eucalyptus, bergamot and mint as well as a discreet hint of violets (very typical of the Touriga Nacional). Wonderful dark plum and blackberry flavours furnish the palate and the long, lingering finish offers traces of dark chocolate, mocha and cream, seamlessly held together by silky tannins and underpinned by very refined, fresh acidity.
            [MediaNotes] => 
            [ServingSuggestion] => "STARTERS - Cheese puffs, smoked sausages.
MAIN COURSE - Red meat, duck breast, intense-flavoured risotto."			
			

            [WineMakingNotes] => "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. "
