Its Origins
In 1764 this bowl-shaped property nestled into the fold of the Upper Douro valley had been given the name Quinta de Roriz, and it has been producing wine ever since. Like most of the historical Douro estates, Roriz has always been known for its Porto but Roriz was one of the first producers to export its wines to Europe, thanks to particularly enterprising ownership. Starting in 1815, the estate was owned by a member of the van Zeller family until the estate was acquired last year by the Symington wine empire, currently the largest landowners in the Douro. Today, Quinta de Roriz is distributed under the Prats and Symnington or P + S banner.
What The Critics Say
93/100 James Suckling
"A juicy, fresh delivery full of red and blue berries, together with wild herbs, stems, hibiscus, white pepper and cocoa powder, extending to the juicy, fluid and linear palate that’s full of energy. Not huge depth here, but it’s mealy and drinkable with a medium-bodied palate, underscored by fruit vibrancy. "
91/100 Wine And Spirits
"A blend of fruit from the Roriz and Perdiz properties, Prazo is aged in older oak and designed for early drinking. In 2019, it’s smooth and savory, blueberry-rich in its bold fruit flavors."
