Quinta do Vesuvio
Quinta do Vesuvio
Owned by the well-known Symington family, Quinta do Vesuvio is the most spectacular Quinta in the Douro valley of Portugal. Located in the wild and serenely beautiful eastern reaches of the Upper Douro valley, 120 kilometres east of Oporto and 45 kilometres from the Spanish border, Quinta do Vesuvio stands alone both in terms of remoteness and sheer grandeur. These are dark, brooding Ports, with deep purple and black fruit flavours, coupled with heady spice notes and good tannin.
