Symington Family Estates Quinta do Vesúvio 2012 Vintage Port

Vintage Port is produced only in the most exceptional deemed years from a single harvest. The fermented wine is fortified before being aged for 2-3 years in massive oak vats which preserve the ripe fruit character. Upon bottling, the wines continue to age and can reward patient maturation for many decades. The decision to declare a vintage is made by the individual Port house. 

Quinta do Vesúvio can trace it's history back to 1827. It was purchased by renowned Port family, Symington in 1989.
