Tasting Notes

Sourced from southern facing vineyards on the edge of Montpellier, this Syrah has a wonderful balance of ripeness and freshness. A two week fermentation on the skins has draw a wonderful robe of garnet-red with shimmering highlights. There's plenty of spice that adds depth to the core of ripe fruit; yet this spice doesn't dominate, it just hovers in the background and is happy to let the fruit take the lead role. Unlike some of wines produced in the south of France in 2020, this doesn't have excessive levels of alcohol. This is more about approachable elegant fruit with balance and poise. One of favourites' from the range. A cracking wine at less than £10.00.
