Chryseia
New release
** 18,5 pts Vinho Grandes Escolhas **
Description and Reviews:
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 is the finest expression of the Douro Valley terroir. Made with great care and attention to detail at the winery at Quinta de Roriz, Chryseia represents two families' commitment to producing the most elegant wine from two hallmark Douro grapes: Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca.
The year
The three months leading up to the harvest were among the hottest and driest ever recorded in the Douro Valley. However, the vineyards remained in surprisingly good condition, a testament to their resilience and adaptability to harsh conditions.
The wine
The 2022 is fruit driven, with soft and round tannins and great freshness, continuing our tradition of finesse.
