2021 Syrah
Handpicked 100% Syrah grapes from our two vineyards in the Pyrénées Orientales were vinified in traditional open topped fermenters.
Approximately 30% of the grape bunched were left whole (non de-stemmed) to enhance carbonic maceration characters in the wine. After two weeks maceration on grape skins the grape must was basket pressed and the young wine transferred to seasoned French oak barriques where Malo-lactic fermentation was completed. In an additional 30 months the matured Syrah was bottled unfiltered at the cellar.
Intense aromas reminiscent of the plants of the garrigue, thyme, rosemerry and fennel coat this wine. These flavours are enhanced with subtle notes of freshly ground pepper corns, black wild cherries, cinnamon and cardamom pods. This wine was aged for 24 months in French oak barrels, bottled without filtration in order to preserve the integrity of the wine optimizing its complexity and length in the mouth. We hope you will enjoy drinking this wine as much as we do.
