The term "Dow's Vesuvio Capela Port" likely refers to the Quinta do Vesuvio 'Capela' Vintage Port, a limited-production wine within the Symington Family Estates portfolio, which includes the Dow's brand. This Port is named after the chapel and an old-vine vineyard on the Quinta do Vesuvio property.
Product Details
- Producer: The Symington Family Estates owns Quinta do Vesuvio, as well as Dow's, Graham's, and Warre's.
- Production: This vintage port is produced in tiny quantities and only in years when specific micro-terroirs on the estate deliver extraordinary quality.
- Winemaking: Grapes are still trodden by human feet in traditional granite lagares (open vats), one of the last places where this technique is the sole method.
- Grape Varieties: A field blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Sousão, and Alicante Bouschet, among others.
- Tasting Notes: The wine is known for its concentration and intensity, with notes of lavender, eucalyptus, green tea, dark fruits, and spice, underpinned by formidable schist tannins and a fresh, long finish.
