Prats & Symington 'Chryseia'
The Prats and Symington project, launched in 1999, was born out of shared vision of producing exceptional Douro wines, using the Bordeaux wine making expertise of Bruno Prats and the knowledge and experience of Symington Family Estates – the world's leading premium Port producer and owner of some of the finest vineyards in the Douro valley including Graham's, Dow's, Warre's, and Cockburn's.
The word 'Douro' means 'Golden' in Portuguese ('D'Ouro'), thus this wine's name Chryseia means 'Golden' in Greek.
A blend of the Douro's two most highly prized red varieties –Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca which Prats & Symington considers best suited to making outstanding Douro DOC wines. Aged for between 12 and 14 months in 400 liter new French oak barrels. A rich & refined wine with excellent aging potential.
