Viniou Reviews
Quinta do Vesuvio's 2011 Cuvée Capela is a remarkable red Port wine, showcasing the rich blend of indigenous Portuguese grape varieties. 2011 is often hailed as an exceptional vintage for Ports, known for wines with incredible concentration and potential for aging. This particular blend is a reflection of meticulous craftsmanship and an intimate understanding of the terroir, which is essential in the Douro Valley, where Porto is produced. The region is renowned for its rugged, steep vineyards along the Douro River. The unique schist and granite soils, coupled with hot, dry summers and cooler, wet winters, create ideal conditions for producing grapes with intense flavours and robust structure. Quinta do Vesuvio, a distinguished estate in this area, has a legacy of producing some of the most sought-after Ports.
This Port’s robust and complex nature lends itself beautifully to a variety of rich and flavourful dishes. Traditional pairings include blue cheeses like Stilton or Roquefort, where the wine's sweetness balances the cheese's savoury intensity. Rich, chocolatey desserts or a classic Christmas pudding can also complement the sumptuous berry and spice notes of the Port. If you prefer a savoury match, consider game dishes such as duck or roasted venison, which echo the wine's depth and richness.
For an optimal tasting experience, the Cuvée Capela should be served slightly chilled at around 15-18°C. This allows the wine's rich aromas of dark fruits, chocolate, and spices to emerge fully, enhancing both its complexity and depth. As this is a young Vintage Port, decanting the wine will aerate it, helping mellow out the tannins and release the bouquet. Take your time to savour this exceptional 2011 release from Quinta do Vesuvio—a true testament to the grandeur of Porto wines.
