Silky & complex Syrah from the superb vineyards of Fabre Montmayou
The cool winds in Patagonia mean that the grapes grow in small, tight bunches and have thicker skins, all of which provides the intense, inky and highly aromatic red
Aromatic and intense with black cherry and hints of violet and clove
A silky mouth feel and good mineralogy on the finish
Small yields in this beautifully managed vineyard. Deleafing and green picking is carried out in December. Harvest is realised manually in small trays of 20 kg in order not to damage the grapes. Double selection is performed: first selection of bunches and a second selection grape by grape.
Cold maceration is carried out at 10ºC – 12ºC for 5 days prior to fermentation which takes place at a controlled temperature of 28 – 30°C. 4 pump-overs per day followed by a long maceration of 30 days. 60% of the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 12 months.
Fabre Montmayou always at the forefront of innovation, have created a wine wonderland in the wilds of Patagonia where 40 year old vines on rich glacier soil provides exceptional results.
