Wine Spectator: Douro em destaque

A tão esperada lista de final de ano da revista americana Wine Spectator já está na mídia com o famoso TOP 100. O grande destaque para as primeiras colocações é a região portuguesa do Douro. Não só abocanhou o primeiro lugar com um Porto da espetacular safra de 2011, como dois grandes vinhos de mesa ícones da região foram muito bem ranqueados.

CHRYSEIA has been one of the pioneers of the now widely-recognised resurgence of non-fortified DOURO DOC wines.

Elegance and balance predominate and it has depth without heaviness, and body without sharpness. CHRYSEIA symbolises the union of a noble Portuguese tradition and an equally rich Bordeaux tradition in the creation of a new and modern style of wine. CHRYSEIA was first launched with the 2000 vintage.
