About This Wine

Deceniza

Syrah

Our Deceniza, meaning—"from ash"—Syrah comes from Chile's Rapel Valley. Peppery aromas, inky dark fruit flavors and bold textures make this wine a captivating expression of the region's climate combined with toasty oak influence. Syrah has a special place in the vineyards of the Rapel Valley, and for a good reason. The valley's warm summers and cool nights create ideal temperature fluctuations that allow the grapes to ripen fully while retaining their natural acidity. Its diverse soils are a mixture of alluvial, colluvial, and granite soils formed over time through ancient waterway deposits and natural weathering. These soils provide the perfect combination of moisture retention and nutrients for Syrah vines to flourish. Grapes from these vineyards are bursting with concentrated flavors, balanced acidity and captivating aromas. We invite you to fill a glass and discover what this kind of harmony between varietal, climate, and winemaking can create. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region

Rapel Valley

Chile's Rapel Valley DO is actually made up of two smaller valleys; Cachapoal and Colchagua. Cachapoal is the warmer of the two, located further inland, entirely cut off from Pacific Ocean breezes and storms by the peaks of the Chilean Coastal Range. This area is well-known for old vine Carménère, which ripens best on the sun-drenched valley floors and foothills of the Andes Mountains. Colchagua lies southwest of its sister valley with warm vineyards and greater exposure to sea breezes, making it an idyllic home to Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. The Rapel Valley focuses primarily on red wine production, famous for full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Carménère, with bold fruit flavors alongside signature herbal and earthy characteristics. Chile’s Denominación de Origen (DO) classification system focuses on separating wines by the physical location of origin. To use the DO classification on a label, a producer must have pulled 85 percent of the fruit used in a wine from a defined regional location. The DO system names wine regions in the country from north to south.

  • A figure representing the Black Pepper tasting note. Black Pepper

On the nose, black pepper, cacao and tobacco aromas are an excellent introduction to this oaky and spicy wine. The palate is full-bodied with soft acidity and supportive tannins. Ripe plum and blackberry join layers of vanilla notes that create an oaky finish with each sip.
