Overview of the vineyard:
The history of Vesuvio is well-documented an I'll leave it to others to add some of that. Suffice to say that since the Symingtons took over in 1989, the quality has improved enormously and it's now one of the best (single quinta) vintage port producers. Only Vintage Port is put on the market, other types are made but kept for personal use, or blended into one of the other Symington brands. The quinta can be visited by invitation only, but it's well worth taking the train there and have a look at the outside.
