Product Notes

Prats & Symington Prazo de Roriz is an expertly crafted Portuguese red wine, exhibiting a deep ruby colour and phenomenal complexity. This delightful, full-bodied blend incorporates Tinta Barroca, Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, and Tinta Roriz, resulting in layered flavours of berry fruits, chocolate, and spice. This wine presents an inviting nose and smooth, well-integrated tannins that trail into an extended, satisfying finish. Aged in French oak, it is an excellent embodiment of the Douro's tradition mixed with modern winemaking. Superb with rich meat dishes or savoured on its own, this wine is sure to impress.

Tasting Notes

The Prazo de Roriz is characterized particularly by red fruit flavours — raspberries and cherries and the Quinta de Roriz terroir provides a distinctive minerality and appealing peppery spice. The Quinta da Perdiz vineyard also provides grapes for the Prazo de Roriz. The wine is made for drinking young, but with the potential for developing in bottle for several years.
