Produced exclusively from the Syrah variety, it reveals the enormous potential of this variety in a special and challenging climate that only Serpa provides.
CHRYSEIA has been one of the pioneers of the now widely-recognised resurgence of non-fortified DOURO DOC wines. However, this wine, whose name means golden in ancient Greek - as does the name of the river in Portuguese - has remained true to its own style. 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.
The old vineyard of Quinta do Fojo is a unique terroir for its natural balance, which results in deep and elegant wines, complex, with round and firm tannins.
Very intense red color with violet reflections. Intense aroma, showing its fruity, floral, spicy side and with a slight menthol contributing to its aromatic lightness.
