Domaine Romaneaux Destezet (Herve Souhaut) Syrah, 2024, 750ml

Description

30-80 year old vines, spread across 2 parcels (3 hectares) of granitic soil in the communes of Arlebosc and Colombier le Vieux, in the Vallée du Doux. Grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a very long maceration at a low temperature—without destemming. The grapes undergo regular punch downs, without any pump overs. The wine is fermented in wooden tanks and aged on fine lees in second-hand oak casks for eight months. The wine is bottled without filtration. The wine has a total SO2 of only 25mg/L.

Personality: Violets and black cherry interplay on the nose. Deep black cherry and juicy plum flavors meshed with candied violets and cool strawberry flavors on the palate. The moderate tannins highlight the fruity components on the finish.
