CHRYSEIA
DOURO DOC
Prats & Symington is a joint project between Symington Family Estates
and Bruno Prats, owner of famed Chateau Cos d’Estournel, which began
in 1999. Since then, Chryseia has been a testament to the incredible
combination of winemaking expertise om the Douro Valley and Bordeaux,
two of the world’s most acclaimed wine regions and two world renowned
wine makers: A winning formula for beautiful wines.
THE WINE
Chryseia 2021 was produced om a rigorous selection of grapes om
Quinta de Roriz and Quinta da Perdiz, both owned by Prats & Symington.
As in all previous editions of Chryseia, there was also the usual contribution
om the Roriz neighbouring estate, Quinta da Vila Velha, privately owned
by Rupert Symington.
VINTAGE OVERVIEW
Following a succession of very hot and dry years in the Douro, the 2021
growth cycle and harvest were some of the coolest in recent years. While
large areas of Europe experienced extreme heat (with July being the hottest
ever recorded in the continent), the Douro experienced an unusually cool
summer with none of the heat waves that have become common in the
region. Moderate conditions in 2021 encouraged slower, gradual
maturations with balanced ripening, while the harvest itself was defined by
three key periods of rain impacting our picking schedule. The remarkably
cool nights contributed to excellent acidity and very good color in the
wines. Harvest started at Quinta de Roriz on September 17th with Touriga
Nacional and ended on September 26th with Touriga Franca.
