Product Notes

Prats & Symington Prazo de Roriz is a harmonious, tantalising red wine from Portugal's esteemed Douro Valley. Its enchanting bouquet renders notes of ripe strawberries and dark cherries, underscored with a touch of spice. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine exhibits excellent balance between its supple tannins and luscious fruit flavours. Hints of chocolate and vanilla blend effortlessly with the wine's deep fruits, revealing a complex, lingering finish. Matured in French oak, it offers a sublime drinking experience, excelling as a perfect complement to succulent red meats or robust, mature cheeses.

Tasting Notes

The Prazo de Roriz is characterized particularly by red fruit flavours — raspberries and cherries and the Quinta de Roriz terroir provides a distinctive minerality and appealing peppery spice. The Quinta da Perdiz vineyard also provides grapes for the Prazo de Roriz. The wine is made for drinking young, but with the potential for developing in bottle for several years.

About the Winery

Prats & Symington

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.

Prats & Symington is born out of a collaboration between the Symington family, renowned port producers with centuries of wine-making history in the Douro, and the esteemed Bruno Prats, former owner of Château Cos d'Estournel, known in Bordeaux. This partnership artfully blends the Bordeaux winemaking approach with Douro's unique terroir.

The winery focuses primarily on producing top-quality dry red wines using traditional Portuguese grapes. Their flagship wine, Chryseia, has amassed considerable recognition, placing Douro Valley on the map as a viable region for world-class dry reds. It's a masterful blend of Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca grapes, offering a complex nose and an elegant structure on the palate, rich with dark fruits and an enigmatic spice hint.

Their aim is to produce wines reflective of Douro's character, capturing both the power and the subtlety of the region’s wine-making legacy.

Their commitment to sustainable practices and their respect for the land from which their grapes are born contributes to the winery's standing as a vanguard in its field.
