PRATS & SYMINGTON PRAZO DE RORIZ DOURO 750 ml

Description

Discover the Prats & Symington Prazo de Roriz Douro 2018, a captivating red from Portugal's Douro Valley. This blend emerges from a unique partnership blending the Symington family's deep Port heritage with Bruno Prats' masterful touch from Bordeaux. Together, they draw from the storied Quinta de Roriz estate, tracing its roots to the 18th century, where every vine tells a tale of enduring legacy and meticulous care.

Pour it into your glass, and a profound purple color greets you, hinting at the intensity within. Scents rise generously—think ripe raspberry mingling with dark black currant, juicy blackberry, tart black cherry, savory black olive, and a whisper of rosehip. It invites you closer, promising layers yet to unfold.

Sip, and the experience builds: a dry, generously textured body carries balanced freshness through medium acidity and polished, generous tannins. Those same berry and fruit echoes dance across the tongue, leading to a lingering close touched with raspberry brightness. Brooding depth pairs seamlessly with lively energy, creating a wine that commands attention without overwhelming.

Crafted from time-honored Portuguese grapes like Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, and Tinta Barroca, this 2018 expression showcases the Douro's bold spirit. Critics have taken note: James Suckling awards 92 points, Wine Spectator 90, and Wine Enthusiast 89, affirming its standout quality.

At 14.5% ABV and in a classic 750 ml bottle, it's ready to elevate your table. Imagine it alongside seared beef, slow-cooked lamb, or wild game roasts—its sturdy frame and fruit depth weave perfectly into rich, savory flavors, turning meals into memorable events.

For enthusiasts seeking a Douro red that bridges tradition and finesse, Prats & Symington Prazo de Roriz 2018 delivers intrigue and satisfaction. Secure a bottle today and let this Portuguese gem unfold its story with your next gathering.
