Chryseia is made from Touriga Nacional, a low yielding variety of great complexity and finesse, and Touriga Franca (was Touriga Francesa) which is more tannic. Also used are Tinta Roriz, known as Tinto del Pas (Tempranillo) in Ribera del Duero, and Tinto Co, a variety with a most attractive aroma.Microclimates vary significantly in the Douro. Each variety has been chosen from the vineyard where it grows best.The different varieties are hand-picked at their optimum maturity and are vinified separately in a dedicated winemaking facility within the Symington family's ultra-modern Quinta do Sol winery in the Douro. Vinification and 'elevage' follow closely the Bordeaux method, the grapes being individually selected by bunch, entirely de-stalked and lightly crushed. The fermentation takes place in small temperature-controlled stainless steel fermenters, with frequent pumping over of the cap.Following a lengthy maceration and after malolactic fermentation has occurred, the wine is transferred to new French oak barrels. To preserve the freshness of the fruit and to avoid over-oaking, 400 litre barrels are used and the time in barrel is limited to eight months. An underground barrel cellar has been built specially, at Quinta do Sol, for Chryseia.The proportion of varieties is deliberately not published as this is expected to vary from year to year.

| O Winnicy | " The Symington family have been producing Port since 1882 and own some of the finest Port Companies: Warre, Dow, Graham and Quinta do Vesuvio, all specialising in Vintage Ports. Bruno Prats is a leading Bordeaux winemaker and former owner of Chateau Cos d'Estournel. He continues to produce wine in Chile. In 1998, the two families resolved to embark on a project to make a top class red wine in the Douro. Both families were convinced that the Douro was capable of producing a red wine of great distinction. The vineyards of the Douro and Bordeaux can be said to be amongst the finest in the world. They both have a history of producing some of the world's greatest wines over many centuries. The wines from these two regions have evolved very differently, each achieving world-wide recognition for their excellence. In 1999, a few experimental 'lots' were made in order to identity the most suitable grape varieties and to judge the quality potential. Chryseia 2000 was the first wine released." |
