About This Wine


Alazules

Syrah

Syrah is a kingly grape with a rich heritage. Grown in Europe since at least the 1st century, this grape has history and staying power. The strong aromas and expressive notes that naturally come from the fruit has fueled its global expansion for the past two millennia. Every time you drink a Syrah it should be a full sensory experience. This wine has notes of ripe red fruit and raspberry and is bolstered by hints of rose, dark cocoa, cloves, and vanilla. We suggest pairing this with traditional Spanish dishes like chorizo and aged Manchego or with other hearty roasted meats. Judges love it too! It took home 92 points and a Gold medal at the 2019 Sunset International Wine Competition.

Wine Region


Spain

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.

Fruity and flowery aromatics thanks to mild fermentation temperatures with part of the must undergoing whole berry carbonic maceration in stainless steel fermenters. This produced a wine exhibiting a rich and structured mouth feel with nuanced and complex French oak notes contributing to a long lingering finish.
