The 2020 vintage was unusual in many ways – the Covid-19 pandemic made every winery a bubble and, for Quinta do Vesúvio’s flagship Douro DOC red wine, the blend accommodated an unusually high percentage of Touriga Nacional (75%). That character comes through in the perfumed, floral/herbal nose, with notes of lavender persisting on the palate, alongside dark plum, cassis and that opulent, sweet mid-palate so characteristic of the Douro. A triumph from a troubled year.
