This wine pours a deep purple-black and immediately draws you in with an intense, expressive nose. Layers of black cherry, cassis, blackberry and wild berries are woven together with rosemary, pine resin, forest floor and dark spice. Black olive, schist and floral herbs add an extra dimension of complexity, while the lifted aromatics beautifully reflect the diversity of Vesúvio's remarkable terroirs.
On the palate, it is bold and expansive with a beautifully structured frame. Concentrated dark fruit is underpinned by ripe, grainy tannins and vibrant acidity, creating a texture that is rich and seductive yet kept in check by a precise mineral freshness. The finish is long, persistent and deeply expressive. Powerful yet refined, the 2024 Vesúvio offers both immediate pleasure and excellent potential for long-term ageing. Only 1510 cases (of 12 x 75cl) were produced for this regular vintage, representing only 4% of the estate's total grape harvest in 2024.
Food-Pairing
This port is delicious with foie gras, roast game, certain cheeses lie Gorgonzola, Roquefort as well as hard cheeses, as an aperitif or as dessert wine

Grapes: 47% Touriga Franca (the highest amount of other Vintage Ports), 30% Touriga Nacional, 13% Alicante Bouschet and 10% Sousão
The 2024 growing season provided steady and even ripening conditions, allowing the estate’s varied vineyard parcels to express themselves fully. Touriga Franca excelled in particular, contributing nearly half of the final blend and bringing aromatic lift, freshness, and structure to the wine. Traditional foot treading in granite lagares, still faithfully preserved at Vesúvio, further enhanced the wine’s texture, complexity, and authenticity.

The 2024 Vintage Port was produced with 47% Touriga Franca (the highest amount of other Vintage Ports), 30% Touriga Nacional, 13% Alicante Bouschet and 10% Sousão. It was fermented with indigenous yeasts in lagar and matured in large oak vessels for 18 months. It's full of energy and tension, is harmonious and has so much going on. This has more Touriga Franca than any of their other Vintage Ports, and it's also the sweetest, but it has phenomenal concentration and higher acidity and comes through as balanced. It is juicy and opulent, with balance. Aromatic, it develops hints of rosemary with time in the glass. It has 20% alcohol, a pH of 3.65 and 110 grams of acidity. 18,120 bottles produced. Drink 2034 - 2054
