Prats and Symington Douro Chryseia 2013

Chryseia 2013 was made from a very fine selection of grapes sourced from Prats & Symington’s own upper Douro Valley vineyards of Quinta de Roriz and Quinta da Perdiz. The Quinta da Vila Velha vineyard, privately owned by a member of the Symington family, and which borders Roriz, also made a contribution as it has done in every preceding Chryseia wine.

TASTING NOTE: Very deep purple colour. Rich and complex aromas of dark plum and black cherries with some subtle toasted notes. Well structured on the palate with lithe, albeit assertive tannins, which underscore the wine’s ageing potential. The finish has a long aftertaste of attractive, supple fruit.
