The 2000 Vesuvio is rich and opulent with the classic nose of violets. This wine is dark, almost ink-purple. On the palate, the Vesuvio 2000 has layers of rich concentrated fruit, the tannins are strong, but ripe. This is one of Vesuvios finest ever wines.

We are one of the very few estates in the Douro where the entire production of the Quinta continues to be made in the traditional granite lagares. In 2000 we had a team of 50 people working the lagares. This is unique in the Douro. As each lagar holds 20 pipes (11,000 litres), We are one of the very few estates in the Douro where the entire production of the Quinta continues to be made in the traditional granite lagares.
