Cuilleron Syrah Vignes d`à Côté IGP Collines Rhodaniennes 2021

100% Syrah from vines planted on a mix of granite and alluvial soils. The grapes are handpicked and then sorted, crushed and partially destemmed in the cellar. Fermented in open top, temperature-controlled vats for about 3 weeks, with regular cap-punching and pumping-over. Alcoholic fermentation in vats with native yeasts and malolactic fermentation in barrels. The wine is then aged eight months in a mix of stainless and barrel before being bottled.

This pure Syrah features a beautiful deep purple color with an expressive nose of brambly fruits, spice, and violets. The palate practically bursts with fruits des bois and an excellent granitic, mineral finish.
