2007 Pombal do Vesuvio DOC

A table wine from the legendary Quinta Do Vesuvio, long known to BBR customers as one of the very finest of single Quinta vintage ports. The quality is evidenced here too. The 2007 is made from 60% Touriga Franca, 30% Touriga Nacional and 10% Arinta Amerasl, all three solid indigenous grape varieties. The vinification takes place in state of the art gravity flow fermenters and then 10 months in 400 litre French barrels. The wines is rich, with powerful flavours of cassis, mulberry and black plum, all laced with a stony minerality and underpinned by very fine tannins. Impressive.
