"It offers a succulent, concentrated finish" (Suckling) "

"Vibrant dark purple color and heart. Young notes of peppery black fruit, blackberry, fresh meat, bay leaf and sweet oak. The palate is rather full-bodied, with an already round texture, notes of freshly crushed berries, licorice, pepper and a long, meaty finish." (Andreas Larsson 2023)

About the wine:

It needs to be aerated! But once that wet smell has dissipated, which it eventually does, the wine is spicy, fresh, dark and throaty. A touch of wild mint and molle draw fresh, undulating lines through the crimson, tea-tinged richness of the fruit. Lavender and a light touch of farm, but it works. Full-bodied.

About the wine:

A lively, energetic and succulent Syrah, revealing notes of black cherries, blueberries, grilled meat and a few roasted peppercorns on the nose. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and lively acidity. Bright and agile, it offers a succulent, concentrated finish. Made from organically grown grapes. For drinking or cellaring.

About the wine:

Vibrant dark purple color and heart. Youthful notes of peppery black fruit, blackberry, fresh meat, bay leaf and sweet oak. Full-bodied on the palate, with an already round texture, notes of freshly crushed berries, licorice, pepper and a long, fleshy finish.
