Rozès was founded in 1855 by Bordeaux wine merchant Ostende Rozès and established itself in Vila Nova de Gaia in 1910. Under Edmond Rozès the brand developed a stronger identity and its characteristic bottle. The founding family left ownership in 1977; since 1999 the house has belonged to the Vranken-Pommery structure.
Quinta de Monsul is an important Douro base. Quinta do Grifo in the Douro Superior also forms part of the wider Portuguese structure. The Ports mature in Vila Nova de Gaia.
Rozès produces Ruby, Reserve Ruby, Tawny, White, LBV, Vintage and other matured Port styles. Classic Ports represent the traditional range while other lines have a more contemporary positioning.
The strong historic link with France and the distinctive bottle shape are important elements of the house identity.
