Area:
Port is the most famous and copied wine from Portugal, and it grows in the Douro Valley. The hills along the Douro River have been worked by hand into terraced stairsteps since the time of Jesus. It’s so impressive that the entire region is a UNESCO world heritage site.
Producer:
In 1999 the Symington family formed a partnership to make top Douro wines with the Prats family of Bordeaux. The first Prats & Symington wine was Chryseia 2000 which received widespread national and international acclaim. Since then Chryseia and its second wine, Post Scriptum, have consistently appeared amongst the most highly rated Douro wines. Chryseia was the first Portuguese non-fortified wine in the Wine Spectator’s annual Top 100 list.
