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.
João van Zeller and the Symington family are pleased to announce the release of the 2004 Vintage Port from their acclaimed vineyard, widely regarded as one of the Douro’s finest estates.
The Quinta de Roriz 2004 Vintage Port
has an immense deep purple-black colour, a rich and lifted nose of violets and spices. On the palate, it has complex flavours of rich black chocolate, ripe red fruits and a fine finish of peppery tannins that will give great ageing potential.

This is really fantastic. Wonderful aromas of grapes, berries and cherries. Full-bodied, medium sweet, with wonderfully refined tannins and a long, long finish. A gorgeous wine.
Best after 2014. 2000 cases made. - James Sucking.
In 2003 kwam Roriz als tweede na Noval Nacional in de Wine Spectator met 97/100 punten.
"Big en concentrated, with a massive tannin structure and loads of very sweet fruit. It goes on and on on the palate. Very impressive and muscular. This single quinta really excelled in 2003. Great pedigree, too. I once had the 1865 Roriz and it was fantastic.- James Suckling"
