Delas Vin de Pays Syrah 2018 (France)

Description

"This is richly fruited and gorgeously expressed on the nose showing blackberry, plum jam, cocoa, cedar and mixed spice aromas. The palate is equally attractive with excellent weight and intensity, wonderfully complemented by fleshy texture and silky tannins. At its best: now to 2023" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2019

The colour is a deep ruby red. The nose reveals powerful aromas of wild berries and spices, truly typical from the syrah grape. On the palate, strong flavours of blackcurrant and red berries surround a smooth fruit on the back of the wine. The finish has lots of personality.

This cuvée is produced using only Syrah vines, planted in the southern part of the Ardèche region. 

100% of the grapes are destemmed before the wine-making, which takes place in closed tanks for approximately 15 days. Extraction is helped by daily pumping over. Fermentation temperatures are controlled and maintained between 82F and 86F. After pressing and racking, malolactic fermentation takes place in tanks. Maturing takes place in vats in order to preserve the fruit aromas. The wines are racked regularly to allow natural stabilisation of their components. This "syrah" cuvee is bottled after blending and a light filtration.

Food Pairing: We suggest trying with cold cuts, barbecue, grilled fish or sausages.
