Prats & Symington Vintage 2016 Port Roriz

€ 65.00

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

The 2016 Vintage Ports are exceptional, with tannins that are amongst the most refined ever, supporting beautiful red-fruit flavours with extraordinary intense, purple colour. They have impressive structure and balance, with Baumes, acidity, tannins and colour in rare and perfect alignment. This is no doubt a result of the later ripening cycle which allowed our grapes to mature evenly and completely.

The Quinta de Roriz 2016 Vintage Port is limited to 390 boxes of 12 bottles

Save & Serve

Serve at 18 °C. After opening a maximum of 2 days shelf life

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
