Description

  • Plum nose 
  • Vanilla 
  • Bacon & chocolate 
  • Soft tannins

"This is complex and engaging on the nose showing dark fruit richness with cedar, smoked game, tar and dark spice aromas. The palate displays excellent weight and succulent fruit intensity, backed by fleshy texture and polished tannins, making the wine savoury and flavoursome with a lengthy silky finish" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Dec 2019

Complex, elegant nose of plum, cassis and violets, with subtle notes of vanilla, bacon and chocolate. This wine is fresh with great acidity and a long finish. Friendly on the palate, full-bodied with soft, ripe tannins. Can be consumed immediately or aged for between 5 to 8 years. 

The finest Syrah grapes were sourced from Wina San Pedro's most prized vineyards in the Maule Valley, more specifically in the Pencahue area. The vines are located in a hilly zone with smooth slopes and silty-clay to moderately deep clay soils. The vines are trained with vertical trellis systems with controlled drip irrigation. Best served between 16 and 18C allowing you to unwind and enjoy. 

Food Pairing: Perfect to accompany red meats, game meats and mature cheeses.
