The grapes, picked during the first ten days of September, are vinified on their own in small, stainless steel containers, with an average length maceration at a controlled temperature. Ruby red colour with violet tints.

The grapes: Syrah

The vineyard: selected parcels cultivated at between 400 and 500 metres above sea level and trained by the Guyot system on clay soil with restricted yields of grapes per hectare.

The vinification: the grapes, picked during the first ten days of September, are vinified at a "24-26°C" controlled temperature in small stainless steel containers where they remain to macerate for periods of from seven to ten days. All of this makes it possible to obtain a wine with an excellent structure and to preserve Syrah's varietal aroma.
The wine: ruby-red colour with violet tints. Typical bouquet, elegant with fruity notes of blackberries and blackcurrants which blend well with the touches of the typical spices of this grape variety. It is balanced, clean and fresh on the palate.
