A fantastic accompaniment to lamb cutlets, deer stew or suckling pig.

This wine is made from 100% Shiraz, which comes from a single block of 2 clones. It is terraced in our steepest and rockiest terroir, which is perfect for the variety and produces our most expressive Syrah. The average yield is 8 t/ha. The grapes were harvested by hand on February 26 and March 8. The grapes are harvested at optimum taste and phenolic ripeness with a sugar content of between 23.4 and 24.9 degrees Brix and an acidity of around 5.5 g/l. The grapes are picked by hand in small harvest boxes and loaded into a cold store, where they are cooled down to around 6 degrees Celsius overnight. 25% of the grapes were initially placed in the tank as whole bundles. The rest of the grapes were destemmed and squeezed directly into the tank to carry out fermentation without the use of pumps. First, a 4-day cold maceration took place before fermentation began spontaneously (without the use of selected yeast strains). Until fermentation was complete, the tanks were pumped around twice a day and the pomace hat was whipped open to extract color and tannins. After fermentation, the wine had an extended maceration period and the malolactic fermentation began spontaneously. The Syrah was placed in barrels to complete the malolactic fermentation. The wine was then transferred, sulfurized and put back into barrels for further maturation. The wine aged on fine lees for 10 months, after which it was transferred to tanks at the time of blending. The wine was then transferred to barrels for a further 11 months before being bottled unfiltered and without fining in January 2022.
