An impressive red that shows finesse to the generous profile of cherry tart, red plum and raspberry gelée notes, cast with licorice, Earl Grey tea, pepper and graphite details. Aromas of violet and mocha echo on the tannic finish.

Based on the magnificent Quinta de Roriz, this wine is a joint venture between the French Prats family and the Portuguese Symingtons. What has now become an icon wine is made with a nod to Bordeaux, richly structured while also elegant and layering tannins and fruit. It is a wine to age.

A full-bodied red with aromas of blackberries, dried blackcurrants, cocoa, walnuts, dried porcini and dried herbs. It’s firm and structured with tight-grained, chewy tannins and bright acidity. Concentrated and tannic with savory character. Good length. 60% touriga nacional and 40% touriga franca. Drink or hold.

This adds concentration, finesse and intensity but it is most impressive for its pure essence of fruit. It doesn't seem jammy in terms of concentration, but as you let it sit on your palate, it sure does show off its intense fruitiness. There are no holes in the mid-palate as it finishes.  

A dynamic vintage of Chryseia, this wine takes Douro fruit toward silkiness without shedding the spicy schist distinction of its tannins or the dark flavors of the local varieties. Floral freshness lives in the silky texture, pointing up the blue and juicy black raspberry flavors while tannic freshness carries the wine’s power, structuring it for development over the next ten years.
