Description

The 2007 was selected from an extremely low-yielding parcel of Touriga Nacional, that gave just 0.70Kg per vine. This was fermented in two lots producing a total of 9,0001ts and this was blended with a parcel of Touriga Franca sourced from the Ribeira da Teja vineyard at the western extremity of the Quinta that had been picked some 4 weeks later. The yield of the more abundant Touriga Franca was 1.30Kg per vine. The Touriga Franca was vinified at lower temperatures favouring the extraction of floral aromas, so typical of this varietal. The final make up of the Vesuvio 2007 Vintage Port. 55% Touriga Nacional and 45% Touriga Franca. The Touriga Nacional was picked first, and this delivered excellent sugar/acidity balance, the phenolic ripeness being ideal with sweet ripe tannins and some beautifully aromatic wines.
