Description
In a nutshell:
This exclusive Portuguese red is a powerhouse of elegance and intensity, brimming with ripe dark fruits, spice, and a beautifully balanced structure.
The lowdown:
A Douro red with serious intent, this boasts impressive heritage. It was the first non-fortified wine from the region to crack Wine Spectator's top 100, so pedigree is assured. On the nose, you'll find a core of dark, brooding fruit - black cherry and plum - laced with hints of dried herbs and spice. The palate is powerful yet elegant, suggesting meticulous winemaking. Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca grapes, grown on the Douro's famed slopes in the 2019 vintage, form the backbone. French oak ageing adds a touch of toasty richness that complements the primary fruit. This is a structured and age-worthy Douro red, built to impress.
The Producer:
Prats & Symington is a remarkable partnership that brought Bordeaux sensibility to Portugal's Douro Valley. Bruno Prats, of the famed Château Cos d'Estournel, joined forces with the Symingtons, renowned Port producers with prime Douro vineyards. Their flagship wine, Chryseia, is a masterclass in Douro reds - bold, complex, and powerfully built with ripe berry fruits, spice, and a structure that promises to age beautifully. This collaboration sparked a renaissance for still Douro wines, proving their exceptional quality and cementing Prats & Symington as a force within the region.
When to drink:
This structured, concentrated red is built for the long haul. You can enjoy it now with roast meats or cellar it and watch its complexity develop over the next decade.
