Description

The 2019 Chryseia has received much critical acclaim as it is the first non-fortified Portuguese red to appear in Wine Spectator's annual Top 100 Wines. Chryseia has been one of the pioneers of the now widely-recognised resurgence of non-fortified DOURO DOC wines. However, this wine, whose name means "golden" in ancient Greek – as does the name of the river in Portuguese – has remained true to its own style. Elegance and balance predominate and it has depth without heaviness, and body without sharpness.

Critical Acclaim
95/100 Wine Enthusiast
Based on fruit grown at Quinta de Roriz in the heartland of the Douro Valley vineyards, this wine is the result of a joint venture between the Symington family and Bruno Prats, former owner of Château Cos d'Estournel in Bordeaux. The wine is massive and powerful while also having elegance and freshness in the background. It is worth aging this wine for several years; drink from 2026. Roger Voss
