2008 Quinta do Vesuvio DOC

Quinta do Vesuvio DOC
From the legendary Quinta do Vesuvio, origin of some of the very finest vintage ports, an outstanding table wine, sure rapidly to acquire the same reputation as that of its fortified sibling. The blend is 70% Touriga Nacional, 20% Touriga Franca and 10% Tinta Amarela, all vinified separately and given an unusually long cuvaison to enable maximum extraction of fruit and tannin. The wine is then aged for 10 months in 400 litre French barrels.

The 2008 season was more temperate than its immediate forebear; probably more of a fillip for table wines than for those which have been fortified. This wine which is balanced and finely structured with finely etched tannins providing the perfect backdrop to the wonderful classic Vesuvio perfume and the opulent plum and raspberry fruit profile.
