Quinta do Vesuvio 2007 Capela Vintage Port (Port)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $125
From a parcel of old vines around the quinta chapel, this is a stunning wine. It has all the opulence we expect from Vesuvio, along with a density that is rare in this vintage. The tannins are there, but are equalled by the toffee, ripe fruit, figs, sweet chocolate. The whole wine is lightened by acidity, but will obviously age.

Quinta do Vesuvio 2009 Red (Douro)
- Cellar Selection
- $73
Capable of standing alongside the great Ports of Vesuvio, this table wine reveals the fantastic quality of its vineyard. It is both powerful and elegant, a wood-aged wine bearing a dense, dark flavor of black plum, with damson-tinged acidity. This impressive wine needs more than 5–6 years of aging.

With its delicious juicy character, and blackberry jelly sweetness, this is a ripe wine, packed with fruit. It is sustained by a core of tannins and some herbal bitterness offering a good contrast to all the opulence and richness.

A powerhouse of a wine that goes from densely rich to massive without a pause. The ripe fruit, the dark, heavy tannins, the black plum and fig flavors, all come from the terroir of this great vineyard.

Quinta do Vesuvio 2000 Vintage Port (Douro)
- Online Exclusive
Quinta do Vesuvio is owned by the Symington family but managed separately from the family’s shipping brands (Dow, Graham, Warre). Vesuvio’s immense terraces and vast open lagares for fermentation, have produced a suitably dense, dark, brooding 2000, perfumed with violets and bursting with solid tannins. This is a great vintage wine.-

Rich wine, as befits a ripe year, full of damson jam and sweet tannins. Of course, it is still very young in a ripe fruity style. The structure is all there, ready for aging.
