Old Vine Syrah 2006

Winemaker’s Notes:
The grapes are destemmed and placed into stainless steel tanks for 9 to 10 days to undergo fermentation. Malolactic fermentation takes place naturally in the spring and the wines will be racked three to four times to remove unpleasant odors.

Color: A mature cherry red color, with touches of mahogany at the edges.
Nose: Warm and spicy, with aromas of compote and jams, as well as the spiciness from the ageing: vanilla, cedar and pepper.
Palate: Well-structured, offering soft but firm tannins and a streak of acidity to keep it fresh and pleasant.

Technical:
Alcohol: 13,3%
Acidity: 5,4 g/l
Residual sugar: 2 g/

The Romans were the first to cultivate grapes on the Iberian Peninsula, now the 3rd largest exporter of wine in the world. Spain is a mosaic of terrains and climates, from the arid South to wet Northern regions. Originally known for their bold reds (Riojas), Spanish vinters now produce an array of exquisitely crafted wines that are among the finest in the world.
