The 2022 Prazo de Roriz was produced with 30% Touriga Nacional, 20% Touriga Franca, 15% Tinta Roriz, 15% Tinta Barroca and 20% old vines (a field blend). It fermented in stainless steel with selected yeasts and matured in 400-liter French oak barrels for six months. It has red fruit and very good freshness, surprising for the year. It was a very dry year (less than 50% of average rainfall) and the grapes were dehydrating, so the harvest started early. Some rain around the 13th of September saved the crop, though they had to stop for 10 days, which was a big decision. They lost the pickers, but it paid off because they got the ripeness they needed. The result seems miraculous. It has contained ripeness, 13.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.72. It is fresh, balanced and elegant, sleek and easily approachable. 63,996 bottles produced. It was bottled in 2024.

Country

Portugal

Benefiting from both the hot, dry Iberian climate as well as brisk Atlantic winds, Portugal is a perfectly situated country for vineyard cultivation and wine production. With a wine making history which stretches back thousands of years, it comes as little surprise that wine plays an important role in the cultural identity and practices of the country. The Phoenicians, the Carthaginians, the Greeks and the Romans all had a hand in forming Portugal as an important center for wine production, and over the millennia, this resulted in each region of this beautiful part of Europe producing its own distinctive wines easily identifiable and separate from neighboring Spain's. Today, the varied terroir and climate across Portugal allows a great range of wines to be made each year, from the fresh and dry Vinho Verde wines to the famous and widely drunk fortified Port wines, and many in between.

Region

Douro

The undisputed jewel in Portugal's crown is the beautiful wine region of Douro, located along the banks of the river from where it gets its name. The region itself is renowned around the world for its range of wonderfully aromatic fortified wines, as well as a wide variety of still red and white wines made from native grape varietals. Wineries in the Douro region utilize a huge amount of different local grapes for their characterful wines, but generally the most popular are made from Tinta Roriz, a rich and flavorful red wine grape related to Spain's flagship Tempranillo. However, there are plenty of different red and white grape varietals used in the region, all benefiting from the excellent hot weather and mineral rich terroir which characterizes the Douro valleys.

Wine Spectator

Bright acidity and chalky tannins are tightly aligned with a dark range of flavors, including blackberry, plum skin and herbed black olive, plus lots of minerally smoke and tar notes. This compact red opens nicely in the glass and should pair well with meat from the grill. Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca. Drink now through 2030. 5,300 cases made, 1,200 cases imported.

Winery Notes

The Prazo de Roriz is characterized particularly by red fruit flavours — raspberries and cherries and the Quinta de Roriz terroir provides a distinctive minerality and appealing peppery spice. The Quinta da Perdiz vineyard also provides grapes for the Prazo de Roriz. The wine is made for drinking young, but with the potential for developing in bottle for several years.
