Syrah
concentrate
roast meat

“‘It offers a succulent, concentrated finish’ (Suckling)”

“A vibrant, deep purple color. Youthful notes of peppery black fruits, blackberry, fresh meat, bay leaf, and soft oak. The palate is quite full-bodied, with a texture that’s already round, notes of freshly crushed berries, licorice, and pepper, and a long, meaty finish.” (Andreas Larsson 2023)

About the wine:

It needs to breathe! But once that damp smell has dissipated—which it eventually does—the wine is spicy, fresh, dark, and throaty. A hint of wild mint and moss draws fresh, undulating lines through the rich, purple, tea-tinged fruit. There’s lavender and a slight hint of earthiness, but it works. Well-rounded.

About the wine:

A lively, energetic, and succulent Syrah that reveals notes of black cherries, blueberries, grilled meat, and a few roasted peppercorns on the nose. It is medium-bodied, with fine tannins and lively acidity. Bright and agile, it offers a succulent and concentrated finish. Made from organically grown grapes. Ready to drink or suitable for aging.

About the wine:

A vibrant, deep purple color with a brilliant core. Youthful notes of peppery black fruits, blackberry, fresh meat, bay leaf, and sweet oak. The palate is quite full-bodied, with a texture that is already round, notes of freshly crushed berries, licorice, and pepper, and a long, meaty finish.
