2008 was a Touriga Nacional year at Vesuvio, which produced very low yields. It is therefore no coincidence that 70% of the Vesuvio ?08 Vintage is made from Nacional which produced incredibaly concentrated wines.
As maturation conditions were relatively cool in 2008 a lot of the final wine comes from 3 riverside blocks of Nacional: Blocks 98, 99 and 100.
This was complemented by 20% Touriga Franca from the Teja valley, Blocks 79 and 80 adding fresh floral components and 10% Barroca from Block 60 adding structure and body to the wine.
Alcohol: 20.0%
Blend: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Barroca
