Prats & Symington Vintage Port Roriz 2007

€ 50.00

Quinta de Roriz is one of the oldest and finest estates in the Douro and has been owned by the van Zeller family since 1815. Quinta de Roriz was the first Douro vineyard to produce and sell wines under its own name. Over 180 years ago, Roriz had already gained international recognition for the quality of its wines. In 1828, Roriz Ports were already fetching the highest prices at London auctions

Deep opaque purple colour. Incredibly perfumed nose packed with complex and powerful floral aromas of freshly picked violets, roses, and hints of ‘esteva’ combined with ripe berry fruit. On the palate stylish and with great finesse combining both power and grace. Intense blackberry and black plum flavours and a fine tannic structure, lead to a long and lingering slightly drier finish

delicious with foie gras, certain cheeses (Gorgonzola, Roquefort), as an aperitif or as dessert wine

Grapes: Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca & Sousão

Store the bottle lying down. Stand the bottle upright for a short while before you intend to decant (20 to 30 minutes

at most). Pull the cork slowly and steadily and leave the bottle for a few minutes. Clean the neck of the bottle. Pour the wine into a clean and rinsed decanter. Once you have started pouring do not stop until you see the very first traces of sediment begin to appear out of the bottle
