Land’s End Syrah 2008
Winemaking procedure:
This vineyard is 8 km from the sea. The cool maritime climate and unique soil characteristics have a profound influence on the flavour profile of the wine. This is a truly terroir-driven wine. The grapes were picked at optimum ripeness at 25-26°B, fermented at 28°C and aged in French oak barrels for 24 months.
Winemaker’s comments:
Dark chocolate, spice and white pepper show with layers of
dark cherry and plum. Hints of sea breeze and saltiness pair
with mouth-hugging tannins on the palate

16-18°C
