- Colchagua Valley
- Grape variety
- Syrah
This Syrah is made from grapes grown in El Olivar vineyard located close to the town of Peralillo in the Colchagua Valley. Winter rain, warm dry summer days and cool nights coupled with cooling sea and mountain breezes help to ensure slow, gradual grape development. This wine is 85% Syrah with the remaining 15% of the blend being a closely guarded secret. The distinctive collection of labels are interpretations of a secret by Chilean artist Catalina Abbott.
Tasting note
Deep purple in colour, on the nose this wine shows ample spice, plum and mocha with just a hint of eucalypt. In the mouth an attack of boysenberry, currant, fig and bittersweet chocolate gives way to ample yet voluptuous tannins leading to a long, elegant finish.
