Syrah

Winemaking

The grapes were handpicked and delivered to the winery in small batches. The fresh juice went through alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at moderate temperatures with a daily rack-and-return process. At the end of fermentation, the wine was gently pressed. The wine aged for 15 months in tight-grain French oak barrels (50% new, and 50% 2-3 years old barrels), and for another 10 months in the bottle at the winery’s cellars. Before bottling, the wine went through light filtration that left the liquid full of its natural flavors.

Serving Suggestion

This is a great introduction to Syrah for those less familiar with the grape variety, and a high-quality wine for the more experienced Syrah drinkers. Smoked meat or grilled steaks rubbed with exotic spices will do very well with this bottle.
