    It’s easy to see where Vesuvio’s nickname as ‘Queen of the Douro’ stems from, with its regal nose of blackcurrants, candied violets, and eucalyptus. At 4.2 Baumé, this is the sweetest of the Symingtons’ Ports. Sweet and unctuous on the palate, with dark chocolate and liquorice, this is inviting, rewarding yet precise, with a boldly structured tannic framing.

  • Wine Advocate, May 2026, Score: 94-97

    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

  • James Suckling, May 2026, Score: 96

    Graphite and blackberries, very aromatic and absorbing. Full-bodied and chiselled, with an engaging austerity that complements a sense of restrained sweetness. Grainy and sharp on the finish. Vines from Vinha da Capela co-fermented with alicante bouschet from Vinha dos Castelos; touriga nacional from Vinha da Escola co-fermented with sousão from Vale da Teja and touriga franca (50+ years) from Vale da Teja. Drink now.

Region

Port

Port is made in the Cima Corgo, Baixo Corgo and Douro Superior districts of the Douro Valley in the north of Portugal. The summers are hot and dry and the climate becomes more continental as you move further east towards the upper Douro Valley. Here temperatures often exceed 40 degrees. The Douro Valley has steep hillsides with terraces, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but is also extremely useful for making quality wine. The schist soils aid in drainage and have become very important to port production, so much so that much of the Douro table wines have been relegated to granite soils. The six main grape varieties used for port production are Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, Tinta Roriz (Tempranillo), Tinta Barroca, Touriga Francesa and Tinta Amarela. There are another 42 grape varieties that are permitted but these six are considered to be the noblest ones, each adding something different to the blend. After the harvest the grapes are trodden, often by foot but more often by machines, in giant lagars (troughs). Port is a fortified wine so during fermentation ‘brandy' (not actually brandy but a grape-distilled spirit) is added to increase thealcoholic strength to around 17-19 % abv. This leaves a sweet, red fortified wine with lots of vibrant fruit. There are many different types of Port from the Basic Ruby Ports, through to Tawny Ports and LBVs, to probably the most famous of all Vintage Port that can take 20 years to reach its peak. When mature, Vintage Port is a unique tasting experience with warm, concentrated spicy-fruit flavours and a superb length that just goes on and on.
