Product Notes

Prats & Symington Post Scriptum is an exquisite Portuguese red wine, born from the renowned partnership between the Symington family and Bordeaux's Bruno Prats. This elegant blend exhibits a sublime intermingling of local grape varieties, predominately Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca. Its charming bouquet overflows with enticing dark berry and subtle spice notes. Upon tasting, one encounters a velvety texture and well-structured tannins, harmoniously enveloped in robust berry flavours and a nuanced oak finish. Perfectly balanced, mature yet lively, it's a remarkable testament to the Douro's superb winemaking tradition. Ideal for special occasions, it pairs beautifully with robust meat dishes.

Tasting Notes

Post Scriptum is a partner wine to Chryseia, drawn from the same vineyards. Its profile is similar, with expressive, fresh and concentrated fruit married to exquisite balance and elegance. Lighter oaked, it is ready to enjoy at a younger age.

Open since 1998, Prats & Symington is a premium winery situated in the stunning Douro Valley of Portugal, an area boasting unequivocal beauty and rich wine-making traditions.
