Syrah
concentrate
roast meat

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

“A vibrant deep purple color. Youthful notes of peppery black fruit, blackberry, fresh meat, bay leaf, and soft 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.” (Andreas Larsson 2023)

About the wine:

It needs to breathe! But once that musty aroma has faded—which it eventually does—the wine is spicy, fresh, dark, and earthy. A hint of wild mint and molasses weaves fresh, undulating lines through the rich, tea-tinged purple fruit. There’s a touch of lavender and a slight hint of earthiness, but it works. Complete.

About the wine:

A lively, energetic, and succulent Syrah, with aromas of black cherries, blueberries, grilled meat, and a hint of roasted peppercorns. 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 now or for aging.
