In the press:

"Port producers Symingtons' table wine, based on Tinto Roriz (Tempranillo) improves with every vintage. Sweet blackberry fruit laced with pepper and spice. Fine, dry texture. Even quite elegant,"
Jancis Robinson, Financial Times, 4 December 2009 (2007 vintage)

"...a very easy Portuguese red from the Douro that is made from tinta roriz and touriga franca, and aged in large French and American oak casks. I like it with the earthy spice of chickpeas, and lamb."
Victoria Moore, The Guardian, 23 January 2010 (2007 vintage)
