Douro wine article - Paul Symington

Post by Andy Velebil »

“We’re a long way from having a cult wine like Sassicaia or Ornellaia, but I think it will happen,” predicted Paul Symington, joint managing director of major Douro wine and Port producer Symington Family Estates.

Looking back on the environment required for this Tuscan break through, he told the drinks business: “It needed critical mass, the economy had to be strong in the US, the wine culture needed to be developed and you needed a catalyst to light the spark.”
