Red Wine Enate Syrah-Shiraz 2017
Availability: In stock
Produced by the Enate winery, Enate Syrah-Shiraz is a varietal Syrah from DO Somontano.
The grapes are sorted from two vineyards. Interestingly, each is planted with a different Syrah clone, one coming from France, the other from Australia.
Harvested by hand at their optimal ripening level, the grapes were destemmed and gently crushed. Then this Spanish red wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks.
After that, Enate Syrah-Shiraz 2017 was aged for 16 months in new French and American oak barrels, in which it had previously completed malolactic fermentation.
The label picture of this red wine from Somontano reproduces a painting by the late Andalusian artist Manuel Rivera.
Decant this Crianza red wine 40 minutes before drinking.
Appearance | The red wine Enate Syrah-Shiraz is deep ruby with a violet rim. |
---|---|
Nose | This varietal Syrah is fragrant, deep and complex. Varietal aromas of red berries, fresh violets, black olives and cocoa, intertwined with dim notes of vegetables, dry earth, smoke, spices and balsam. |
Palate | Bold and meaty, this red wine from Enate is also remarkably fresh due to its well-balanced acidity. Velvety-bodied, with remembrances of ripe blackberries, raspberries and blackcurrants, combined with notes of tapenade, chocolate, menthol and toast. Long, complex finish. |
Our personal opinion | A terroir-driven wine, Enate Syrah-Shiraz 2017 will nicely accompany roasts, casseroles and all kinds of hearty meals. |
