The 2022 Quinta do Vesúvio Vintage Port is a powerful and terroir-driven single-quinta Vintage Port from one of the Douro Valley’s most historic estates, crafted by the Symington family using traditional foot-treading in granite lagares. It reflects a classic style of intensity, structure and precision, with outstanding critical acclaim across major reviewers. The nose is highly aromatic and expressive, showing signature floral notes of lavender and rockrose layered with ripe red cherry, blackberry and plum.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and concentrated, with a dense core of red and black fruit supported by fine-grained tannins and vibrant freshness. The finish is long, elegant and persistent, combining richness with balance and energy.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a top-tier Vintage Port with serious aging potential and strong collector appeal. The 2022 vintage shows both power and finesse, making it suitable for long-term cellaring. Best from 2032 onwards, with decades of evolution ahead. Ideal with chocolate desserts, blue cheese or as a contemplative after-dinner wine.
