Syrah 100%

Location

Vinification
Classical method for red  wines, extended skin contact for 20 - 30 days at
controlled temperature of 24 C to maximize the aroma.
There follows malolactic fermentation and the maturity in oak french barrels 225 lt each,
made by Bertomieu Tonnelerie. It is bottled without stabilization or filtration,
so any amount of sediment is quite normal.

Tasting notes
Deep ruby colour, with complex developing bouquet.
Spices, pepper, cinnamon and tobacco aromas, strong sense of
black fruit taste (prunes, raspberries, blackberries), jam baked fruit, nuances of vanilla.
Full bodied wine, spicy with decent ripe fine-grained tannins and long finish.
