Wine of The week: Chryseia 2011 one of the best in the world...

It was really easy to choose the main actor for this section return. Chryseia 2011 was, not only, considered the world 3rd best wine of 2014 by the prestigious Wine Spectator as it was our company in last Christmas lunch...

A project that began in November 1998 when the Symington family proposed Bruno Prats a partnership to produce a top wine and that in its tenth harvest, the 2011, turns out to be recognized with 97 points by Wine Spectator.

A wine made from Touriga Nacional and Touriga Franca, is a perfect example of Portuguese Douro Valley elegant wines, with good acidity and great body. A wine to keep carefully stored and taste the evolution over the years ...

Wine of the Week: Crochet 2011

Winemakers Sandra Tavares and Susana Esteban clearly selected their best needles to produce this Crochet 2011, a very harmonious wine in terms of aromas and flavours, which leds us to feel also a great relation between both producers. 

A great return from the Douro Susana Esteban from whom, till now, I only knew the excellent work on in Alentejo region (Solar dos Lobos and Tiago Cabaço wineries) 

If you didnt taste it yet, don't take too long as there were only 3300 bottles ...

Wine of the Week: Crasto Superior 2011

Last weekend Iwas going home for lunch at John's, and I decided to challenge him to choose two wines I had not tried before to share with you here on the blog. 

This wine owes its name to the region where its grapes come from, Quinta da Cabreira, located next to Castelo Maior, in the upper Douro region (Douro Superior).

Made of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Rouriz, Sousão and Old Vines, Crasto Superior 2011 seemed fairly balanced, although for my personal taste it seemed something sweet and over-ripe fruit. 

I am curious to follow its evolution and to taste it in a few more years when it gets older...

Wine of the week: Cottas 2011

Cottas Douro 2011 was a great company to start the weekend with my parents on Portuguese region of Douro!
