Les Carrasses - Syrah Rouge 2017

This delicious wine has a deep garnet red colour with good intensity. Dominantly black fruits on the nose (blackcurrant, blackberry) complemented by leather notes after airing with underwood and spices. Superb volume on the palate, rich and exceptionally smooth. The final is fresh with a hint of violet. Great with lamb, stews, game or mature cheeses.

Terroir and Vinification

This pure Syrah was initially harvested from gravelly clay terraces with their deep, well-draining soils, and from a terroir of ancient alluvial limestone. Vinified traditionally with light crushing and fermentation at 28°. Varying techniques are used to extract aromas and colour, to build the middle palate and create balance.
