Chryseia 2016

In November 1998, the Symington family proposed that Bruno Prats should take part in a new project to produce a top quality, non-fortified Dourowine. This proposal took shape in 1999 with the creation of PRATS & SYMINGTON Limitada as an equal partnership between the two families. Experimental production in this first year enabled the best plots and most suitable grape varieties for the project to be selected. The CHRYSEIA 2000 was the first vintage to be released.

Chryseia 2016

18,5 pts Vinho Grandes Escolhas - Powerful, concentrated and dense and with a strong durian personality, it balances with a trace of freshness and minerality that allow this already a good test. What stands out is the fine and elegant tannins.
