Compact bouquet of blueberries, blackberries, tobacco, cedar and earthy slate nuances. In the mouth again very compact, wonderfully noble, versatile, grippy, fine round tannins and an infinitely long persistent finish. Great class!

Touriga Nacional is one of the two most important grape varieties for the Vesuvio red wine. These vines are grown in the Quinta Nova vineyard located at 450 metres altitude, with a fine westerly aspect. This area of the estate was acquired for Vesuvio by Dona Antonia Ferreira in the mid-19th century.
