Syrah

The vines stand in the Chamoson lieu-dit «Prés-des-Pierres» on very gravelly limestone soil. Following strict yield reduction and hand-harvesting at 98° Oechsle, the grapes are destemmed; skin maceration and alcoholic fermentation last 21 days. The wine is matured in concrete tanks with varying degrees of aeration until bottling at the end of July. It shows a deep purple-red colour and concentrated aromas of black fruit, cassis, clove and spices. In its youth it is structured and noticeably tannic; with ageing it becomes rounder and more supple. ([simonmaye.ch](https://www.simonmaye.ch/produit/syrah/?utm_source=openai))
