Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage 2008

€ 72.00

Dark purple in color. On the nose profound lifted aromas of peppermint and violets. A tremendous mid-palate full of ripe tannins with a fresh acidity, and elegantly balanced finish. Can be drunk young by those who enjoy a more fruit driven style, but will also age superbly over the decades to come.

Food-Pairing

This port is delicious with foie gras, certain cheeses (Gorgonzola, Roquefort), as an aperitif or as dessert wine, and is a fabulous accompaniment to chocolate desserts such as flourless chocolate cake or dark chocolate truffles, but can also be enjoyed on its own - it is an experience in itself.

Grapes: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca
