A powerful Northern Rhône Syrah that over-delivers for the price

  • Notes of black olive tapenade, black pepper, violets, smoked meats, and scorched earth.
  • Intense fruit, ripe tannins and a long finish mean this Cornas will be one to tuck away for some years.
  • Part of the vineyard is located on decomposing granite, known locally as "gore" the other is on alluvial clay-limestone soil. This kind of soil produces powerful, meaty wines with great tannins.
  • After vinification the ageing process starts and lasts 14 - 16 months. 80% of the wines goes into oak barrels. The remaining 20% are aged in concrete tanks, which preserves the fruit and minerality expressed on these granitic soils.
  • Serve with fish in tapenade sauce (such as Mullet), or meats in sauces, marinated meats, and large game with cranberry sauce.
  • Grape variety: Syrah(Shiraz)
  • Vintage: 2019
  • Type/Colour: Red
  • Alcohol: 14%
