Syrah-Shiraz

Syrah de Cregenzán, Shiraz de Alcanetos
Red
DESCRIPTION
Syrah from Cregenzán plot and Shiraz from Alcanetos Valley.
After a rainy start to the year with average seasonal temperatures, spring greets us on the night
of March 24th with a surprising snowfall that causes power cuts and road problems in Somontano.
April, on the other hand, arrives with higher than usual temperatures, reaching 20 ºC some days.
At the end of the month, however, a cold front causes a significant drop in temperatures, and
the heavy frost on the night of April 28th affects some of the earliest varieties in the vineyard.
May and June were particularly warm and dry, favouring the development of vegetative growth.
July arrives quite cool, but in August, a wave of warm air bathes the peninsula and part of
Europe, accelerating the ripening of the grapes, allowing us to start the harvest on August 9th,
with the Chardonnay from our plot 234. A harvest of low yields, but extraordinary quality that
ends on September 21st.
TASTING NOTES
Dark red cherry colour. Red fruits and blue flowers aroma, with a hint of olives on a lactic notes
and vanilla background. Voluptuous on the palate with noble and velvety tannins. Very persistent.
