Syrah-Shiraz

The grapes come from two different vineyard sites: Syrah from Cregenzán and Shiraz from Alcanetos. The vineyards lie in Somontano at altitudes of approximately 400 to 700 metres; the soils range from limestone- and gypsum-rich to sandy, clayey and stony. The must ferments at 26 °C in small stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation then takes place in new barriques made from European and American oak, followed by 15 months of maturation in wood and natural ageing in tank. The wine shows red fruit, blue flowers, olives, vanilla and lactic notes. On the palate it is full-bodied, dense and long, with soft, velvety tannins.
