Message from the Symington family
We are pleased to announce that on May 26, 2009, our family acquired full ownership of the magnificent Quinta de Roriz in Portugal’s Douro Valley. Despite the difficult economic climate, our family could not fail to seize the opportunity to buy back one of the most emblematic and iconic properties in the Douro, which over the past centuries has produced some of its finest wines. In times of substantial uncertainty and widespread economic crisis, this deal represents our family’s very clear long-term commitment to winemaking in the Douro and to the prospects that we have regarding the future performance of wines from the region. We believe that wines of exceptional quality with recognized and prestigious brands, produced from the best vineyards in the Douro, are critical for the future success of our family business.Click here for Quinta de Roriz on Google Maps
Quinta de Roriz is one of the oldest and finest estates in the Douro and has been owned by the van Zeller family since 1815.
Historical records show that Roriz was the very first Quinta Port to be exported and the first Quinta to establish an international reputation for the quality of its wines.
During much of the 19th Century, Roriz was considered one of the greatest of Vintage Ports, and it is intended to re-establish this standing in the 21st Century.
