Syrah

Sun-warmed strawberry and red cherry lead, sharpened by cassis and blackberry and layered with brambly herbs. The palate is richly concentrated and penetrating, yet zesty and vibrant, with dark fruit, spice and savoury depth held by fine, tautly composed tannins. Generous in scale but balanced, finishing with freshness and precision.

Black cherry and raspberry open with dried violet and orange blossom, followed by pepper and warm spice. Medium bodied and vivid, the palate feels polished rather than heavy, with smooth, refined tannins carrying the fruit into a savoury, persistent finish. Give it a brief decant and serve with roast lamb, grilled mushrooms or lentils with herbs.

Black cherry and plum meet smoke and liquorice in this organic Grenache-Syrah blend. The wine is unoaked, full-bodied and fresh in fruit, with fine, furry tannins. Crushed cherries, raspberries and a light dusting of pepper add to its juicy profile. The blend is eighty percent Grenache and twenty percent Syrah, vinified and aged in concrete for more than a year.

Ripe red fruit, vanilla, cinnamon and toasted notes accompany a deep purple-red colour. The palate is fruity, savoury, fleshy and glyceric, with soft, ripe tannins. Monastrell, Syrah and Petit Verdot are fermented and macerated separately for fifteen to twenty days at no more than twenty-eight degrees Celsius. The blend spends four months in American oak barrels.

The profile includes red and black fruit, violet, pepper, stony minerality, medium body, freshness and length. The blend contains seventy percent Grenache, twenty percent Mourvèdre and ten percent Syrah. Grapes grow on limestone and galet soils, are fully destemmed and mature in concrete vats. The wine comes from Côtes du Rhône in France’s Rhône Valley and contains fifteen percent alcohol.
