Prats & Symington Chryseia

Chryseia is a renowned red wine from the Douro region in Portugal and is produced by a joint venture between the Symington family and Bruno Prats under the label "Prats & Symington". This is the so-called flagship of the cooperation. The wine is characterized by the style of Bordeaux wines. And of course this is no coincidence, as Bruno Prats is the former owner of some very well-known châteaux, such as Château Margaux or Cos d Estournel.

The name Chryseia comes from the ancient Greek and means "the golden one". And the wine truly has something sublime and precious about it. In the glass, the wine shines a deep ruby red with violet reflections. The nose is enveloped by the scent of floral notes, cassis, blackcurrant
and blueberry. There are also notes of leather, cocoa, pepper and mint. The Chryseia Prats & Symington is opulent and concentrated on the palate. The texture is characterized by silky tannins and a balanced acidity, accompanied by a fine sweetness. An incredibly elegant wine with a hint of chocolate and tobacco on the very long finish.

Chryseia is something very special in the glass, with an impressively complex aroma spectrum. The interplay between fruity and spicy notes also makes it an ideal accompaniment to various strong dishes.

Prats & Symington
Im Jahre 1999 gründeten der Portweinproduzent der vierten Generation, Rupert Symington, und der berühmte Bordeaux-Winzer Bruno Prats das Joint Venture Prats & Symington. Gemeinsam wählten sie die leistungsstärksten Weinbergparzellen der Symington-Weingüter im Douro aus und bauten in Quinta de Roriz ein eigenes Weingut, um die Trauben nach den Prinzipien der Bordeaux-Wein-herstellung zu vinifizieren. Man hat sich auf die Produktion von trockenen Rotweinen spezialisiert und steht damit an der Spitze der heutigen DOC Douro-Qualität.

António Lopes Douro
This wine shows an intense, powerful and fruity bouquet. It is full-bodied and rich in fruit and tannins.Enjoy this Vinho Tinto with dark meat, grilled fish, hearty flummeries and spicy pizza.The Douro wine-growing region is the oldest protected region of origin in Portugal. The cultivation area was already precisely defined and designated in 1761. This bizarre landscape along the Douro River is characterized by steep slopes and terraces extending down to the river.The prevailing cultivation conditions here are extremely harsh, so that the vines grow only with difficulty on the slate and granite soils. In former times, port was almost the only thing produced here, but today, the Douro area ranks among Portugal’s top wine regions.

Duas Quintas Douro Clássico Tinto - Red
Bright grenadine in colour with shades of violet.Mature aroma of forest fruit, blackberries, cherries, figs and cistus, with a floral hint. Smooth and fresh on the palate, with the length and expressive aromas characteristic of an Upper Douro wine.Handpicked grapes in 150-kilo crates, pressed, destalked and then fermented in steel vats at a temperature of no more than 25º. Maceration continues for long enough to produce a wine with the desired body and structure. Following malolactic fermentation in vats, 20% of the wine is aged in French oak barrels and the rest remains in the steel vats. The wine is bottled 18 months later.Excellent as an aperitif, it goes very well with soups, starters and salads. Also particularly recommended with dishes of fowl: roast chicken, duck risotto and quail, and with soft cheeses.
