Introduction

Founded by Ostende Rozs over a century ago, Rozs has built a worthy reputation based on the high quality of its Port Wines, known over the world. Then established in Vila Nova de Gaia, Rozs continues its development with the permanent concern for the excellence of its wines. Today, its 550 acres of vines located in the three sub-regions of the Demarcated Douro Region constitute together with the cellars of Vila Nova de Gaia and the Production Unit the Rozs Heritage. Having always focused on the principles of its founder, Rozs remains a House where quality, tradition and innovation go hand in hand. Packed with ripe black fruits, the wine also has freshness and great acidity. Behind all this are immense tannins, rich fruit and a solid potential. This is going to be a sweeter style, ripe with concentrated luscious black fruits. Producer Information A company of the Vranken Pommery Monopole Group since 1999, Rozs has a secular history linked to the Douro, having been the first group to settle in the Douro Demarcated Region, Rozs has been consolidating its presence in the national and international markets by introducing the vineyards to the aging and bottling of the wines should be highlighted. Established in Bordeaux in 1855 by Ostende Rozs, a fine wine dealer from that city, Rozs began importing and trading Port Wine. In the next generation, the son of the founder, Edmond Rozs, was the great promoter of the development and reputation of the company and its Port wines. Around the 1930s, Edmond created the “Porto Rozs” brand selecting at the same time a bottle shape that would simultaneously identify the brand and the Port wine. This selection resulted in an “old school Portuguese” bottle, with a bottleneck wrapped in sulphurous paper and a cork sealed with wax. Thus, Port wines assumed such a distinctive and charismatic identify and rapidly gained the status of quality wines. After more than one hundred years and four generations later in 1977, Casa Rozs ceased to belong to the family that gave it its name. Presently, the Rozs brand exports to more than 40 countries worldwide having as main markets France, Belgium, Germany and Scandinavia. It is the only brand of Port Wine that offers two completely different ranges: the tradition representes by the Rozs Classic Ports brand and the innovation represented by the Rozs Colours Collection brand. The wines of the Vranken Pommery Monopole group are sold in Portugal by Rozs, namely its Champagnes, and have been conquering visibility due to the quality and innovation of its wines and respective packaging.
