Viniou Reviews
The 2007 Quinta do Vesuvio "Cuvée Capela" is a distinguished red Port wine that embodies both elegance and intensity. It is produced from a carefully selected blend of traditional Douro grape varieties, which might include Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Tinta Roriz. The 2007 vintage is particularly significant in the Douro Valley, often celebrated for its balanced climate and optimal growing conditions. This wine showcases the essence of its terroir with a deep, luscious colour and a complex profile, enriched by notes of ripe black fruit, chocolate, and subtle spices, underscored by the prolonged aging in wooden vats that enhances its depth and character.
The Douro Valley, where Porto wines like this are crafted, is one of the oldest demarcated wine regions in the world, steeped in tradition with a legacy dating back to the 18th century. The region features steep, terraced vineyards that overlook the winding Douro River. The climate here is hot and dry in the summer and cold and wet in the winter, providing distinct conditions that contribute to the intensity and richness of the wines. The schist and granite soils also play a crucial role, promoting the development of wines with excellent structural balance and mineral undertones.
For pairing, this robust Port is ideally suited to rich desserts such as flourless chocolate cake or a classic Portuguese cheese like Serra da Estrela. It also complements savoury dishes like game meats or a well-aged steak, highlighting its versatility. Traditional Portuguese fare such as a decadent almond tart will also harmonise beautifully with the wine's deep and layered palate.
When it comes to serving the 2007 Quinta do Vesuvio "Cuvée Capela," it is best enjoyed slightly cooler than room temperature, at approximately 16-18°C. This ensures that its full bouquet and complexity can be appreciated. Decanting the wine prior to serving allows its myriad aromas and tastes to fully express themselves, making for a truly memorable tasting experience.
