CHRYSEIA: The word 'Douro' means 'Golden' in Portuguese and its Greek translation is 'Chryseia'. It is the fruit of two of the Old World's greatest wine making traditions, produced in the unique Douro valley in Northern Portugal.

GRAPE VARIETIES

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 País (Tempranillo) in Ribera del Duero, and Tinto Cão, 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.
