Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Roriz
75cl * Vegan * 13.5% ABV * Douro, Portugal
Quinta do Vesuvio stands alone both in terms of remoteness and sheer grandeur. Located in the wild and serenely beautiful eastern reaches of the Upper Douro valley, this property is set in the prime wine growing area of the demarcated Port region.
This red wine is a pure expression of the indigenous varietals of the Douro region; ripe, spicy and slightly floral on the nose, leading into a rich and velvety palate layered with a herbal complexity with notes of fennel and lavender. The absence of oak aging brings forth the purity of the fruit, which is followed by an earthy, vibrant finish. Perfect with roast beef, or even a cheesy pasta.
