There has been a station on the main line Douro railroad at Quinta do Vesuvio since 1887 and the trains that daily call there are very much part of the property’s day to day life. This railway forms part of Vesúvio’s rich heritage and when the Symington family decided to launch this third dry red wine from the legendary estate, it felt only natural to evoke the propitious coexistence between railway and vineyard. The ‘Comboio do Vesuvio’ (Vesuvio Train) is unoaked to underscore the wine’s youthful, fruit forward profile.

Bright aromas of red fruits and rock rose. Rich plum with notes of fresh herbs and hints of clove on the palate. Fine acidity and peppery tannins add freshness to this balanced, well-structured wine.
