Description
*** 95 Points -Star buy of 2015. - Decanter Magazine ***
Let us be reminded that the 2011 Chryseia was considered the third best wine of the world by North-American magazine Wine Spectator (2014). The 2012 vintage is also in the outstanding/exceptional category displaying a dark, intense, opaque garnet. Poised and very classy with spicy, bright, very persistent red and black fruits, ultra-fine tannins, mineral acidity and perfumed oak.
This outstanding wine is the ultimate product of the Prats & Symington partnership, between the Symington family and French oenologist Bruno Prats.
CHRYSEIA has been one of the pioneers of the now widely-recognised resurgence of non-fortified DOURO DOC wines. However, this wine, whose name means "golden" in ancient Greek – as does the name of the river in Portuguese – has remained true to its own style. Elegance and balance predominate and it has depth without heaviness, and body without sharpness. CHRYSEIA symbolises the union of a noble Portuguese tradition and an equally rich Bordeaux tradition in the creation of a new and modern style of wine. CHRYSEIA was first launched with the 2000 vintage.
