Charles Symington has been named fortified winemaker of the year by Portuguese publication Revista de Vinhos.

 

He previously won this accolade in 2006, jointly with his father Peter, whom he succeeded as the head winemaker of Symington Family Estates. Peter Symington had won the award three times.

 

Thirty excellence awards were given out, of which four went to ports. Three of those ports were made by Symington Family Estates - two Graham's wines, the 30 years tawny and 1969 single year tawny, and the 2009 Warre's port.

 

Revista de Vinhos wrote: "In Charles's case, Peter's legacy is in good hands and the wines speak for themselves, showing that the future is assured. This is cause for celebration."
