Prats and Symington, Prazo de Roriz

Reflecting the distinct character of the Douro’s indigeneous grape varieties and the unique terroir of both Quinta de Roriz and Quinta da Perdiz, Prazo de Roriz is a great first step for those discovering the region. The hand-picked grapes for Prazo de Roriz are placed in small, shallow containers and on arrival at the Quinta de Roriz winery the bunches are manually sorted, after which the berries undergo an automated selection process to ensure that only grapes in ideal condition reach the stainlesssteel vats. Gentle macerations are favoured in order to produce fresh and fruity wines, approachable from a young age whilst retaining good ageing potential. Prats & Symington was founded in 1999 as a joint venture between the well known Bordeaux winemaker, Bruno Prats and the Symington family. It is an independent company specialising in dry red wines which has been at the forefront of the DOC Douro quality revolution and instrumental in driving forward the high quality image of the region.
