Grape/Blend
100% Syrah
Terroir:
Very dry, low rainfall. Stony and clay/limestone mix with a south-east exposition.
Viticulture:
To maximise the efficiency of the vines the work in the vineyard is meticulous. 4000 vines per hectare at 812m high eliminate stress hydrique and canopy management achieves the best aeration for the vines and reduces the need for phytosanitary products. Quality is further enhanced by voluntary small yields, a green harvest at the beginning of summer and various tris which discard the grapes which do not merit being in the final blend.
Vinification:
Manual harvest
Cold maceration
Fermented for 20 days
Matured in French oak barrels for 18 months
Food Pairing
Red meat, game, lamb or mature cheese
