Treatment in the cellar

The Syrah grapes were cooled overnight and the next morning were selected and sorted by hand with great care berry by berry. After a three-day cold swelling phase, the temperature of the juice was allowed to rise to 16 °C at room temperature. To optimize the distinctive characteristics of the Syrah grape, 30 of the grapes were fermented whole bunch and selected yeast cultures were added to the mash to bring out the classic spicy and fruity aromas of the grape variety. During alcoholic fermentation, the mash was gently pumped over periodically to extract maximum flavor nuance and color. Once fermentation was complete, the juice was pressed and then underwent malolactic fermentation in wooden barrels. The wine was then aged for 18 months in older French oak barrels. The total production of this award-winning Syrah is a limited quantity of 660 bottles.
