Product

This 100% Syrah is crafted from grapes grown on high-altitude hillside slopes, contributing to its fruit-forward style. Vines average 15 years in age, yielding 30-40 hL/Ha. All grapes are hand-harvested. The wine undergoes small-batch fermentation and is pressed directly into barrels. It is aged for 12 months in French oak, with 20% of the barrels being new. A ripe, fruit-forward red with spicy notes and subtle oak. Aromas of incense and exotic spices. On the palate, barbecue smoke, black pepper, smooth tannins, and bright acidity. Juicy blackcurrant and redcurrant flavours with a hint of minerality.
