Red Wine Vallegarcía Syrah 2021
Availability: In stock
Produced by bodega Pago de Vallegarcía, Vallegarcia Syrah comes from the tiny DO Pago de Vallegarcía, situated in Montes de Toledo.
A varietal Syrah, this Spanish red wine is sourced from 20-year-old vines oriented to the south and planted at 850 meters of altitude. The soils are poor and full of stones, with a silica surface. The region has a continental climate, with hot and dry summers and cold and humid winters.
This limited production Crianza red wine was crafted with the utmost care. First the grapes were harvested by hand and macerated for 72 hours in stainless steel tanks. After that, they were fermented for 21 days at a low temperature.
After that, Vallegarcía Syrah 2021 was transferred into French oak barrels, where it was aged 12 months. Finally, it was further aged for some months in the bottle.
Aerate some time before drinking.

Nose | This varietal Syrah carries aromas of blackberries and bilberries, with some balsamic notes, a touch of chocolate, vanilla and liquorice, and some bitter and mineral remembrances. The nose evolves as the wine is exposed to air, seguing into hazelnuts and almonds, enlivened with a note of raspberry jam and blue flowers. |
Palate | Powerful and subtantial, this wine of the Pago Vallegarcía winery is nevertheless fat-free and crisp, with sinewy tannins and a superb acidity. Excellent balance, with wood, fruit and tannins nicely integrated. The aftertaste is reminiscent of black fruit, underbrush, spices and flowers. |
Our personal opinion | The elegant Vallegarcía Syrah 2021 will please even the most demanding Syrah lovers. Pair with hearty dishes. |
