MISTERIÓS SYRAH
A wine with a velvety feel, boasting flavors of blueberries, blackberries and spices such as pink and black pepper.
In Subirats, behind Cal Almirall hides our small plot affected by the decline of Syrah, which, although it does not affect the quality of the grapes or the wine, does accelerate the gradual death of the vines.
Decay, a spectacular reddening of some pomeloes, affects most plots of Syrah around the world. This mysterious phenomenon, almost exclusive to the Syrah variety, is still
today a puzzle for viticulture researchers.
Vine variety and age: 100% Syrah, 20-year-old vine.
Manual harvest, at the end of August on the rising moon and Flower Day.
Peculiar short maceration until fermentation with native yeasts at 22/24ºC on its skins for 24 days. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation at the beginning of October, when we transfer to the bottes, where they will age in French oak for 9 months.
Not clarified or filtered in order to fully respect the expression of the terroir, it may present precipitates. Limited Production of 2200 Bottles.
Tasting notes:
The spectacular violet color of Syrah transports us mentally to the vivid colors of the vineyard, and more so to the grapevines affected by the decay of Syrah. The intensity of aromas of black fruit such as myrtle, blackberry and blueberries, are combined with the spicy touches of pepper and licorice, known as the typicality of Syrah in Mediterranean climates. In the mouth it is a gluttonous and crunchy wine at the same time due to its silky tannins.
