It is owned by the Symington group of wineries alongside the likes of Graham's, Warre's and Dow's. There are 133 hectares (329 acres) of vines at the quinta, that range from 425ft (130m) above sea level at the river's edge to 1740ft (530m) at the top of the ridge. Being so far inland, the diurnal temperature variation is extreme, which means the grapes retain acidity as they ripen. In the winery, grape treading by foot still takes place, a traditional which dates back to the estate's foundation in the early 19th Century. It takes approximately 50 people at least two hours to tread one lagar (a traditional granite, open vat used for grape fermentation). The Vesuvio wine range includes Douro DOC wines as well as Port produced from Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional and Tinta Amarela. The Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage is the standard Port offering, while Capela do Vesuvio is only released in tiny quantities in exceptional years.\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-03-01T15:18:27-05:00","created_at":"2023-02-18T10:32:32-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Portugal","Other_Wine","Producer_Quinta do Vesuvio","Region_Douro","RK1702","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_Dessert Wine","Varietal_Port Blend Red"],"price":179899,"price_min":179899,"price_max":179899,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42789139841162,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2016 | Quinta do Vesuvio | 'Capela' Vintage Port Tappit Hen 2.25L","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":179899,"weight":48988,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/25_19bb65ad-11e5-4077-b2c6-3656a330a078.png?v=1676734396"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/25_19bb65ad-11e5-4077-b2c6-3656a330a078.png?v=1676734396","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2016 | Quinta do Vesuvio | 'Capela' Vintage Port Tappit Hen 2.25L at CaskCartel.com","id":24252053651594,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.303,"height":337,"width":102,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/25_19bb65ad-11e5-4077-b2c6-3656a330a078.png?v=1676734396"},"aspect_ratio":0.303,"height":337,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/25_19bb65ad-11e5-4077-b2c6-3656a330a078.png?v=1676734396","width":102}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eDessert Wine: 2016 | Quinta do Vesuvio | 'Capela' Vintage Port Tappit Hen 2.25L\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is dense, packed with great fruits and tannins, dark and concentrated, and full of perfumed black fruits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Quinta do Vesuvio\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings: \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003eWA\u003c\/span\u003e | 97  \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" color=\"#ff2a00\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003eJS\u003c\/span\u003e | 96\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage: \u003c\/b\u003e2016\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Port Blend Red\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Portugal, Douro\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine is dense, packed with great fruits and tannins, dark and concentrated, and full of perfumed black fruits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #222223;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #222223;\"\u003eReviews:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #9f250d;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #9f250d;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e The 2016 Capela da Quinta do Vesúvio Vintage Port is principally a field blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Sousão and Alicante Bouschet, coming in with 109 grams of residual sugar.
