About This Wine


Espaldera

Syrah

Espaldera continues to prove themselves as the masters of the vine. Our Syrah is concentrated, savory, and true to its old-vine styling with dense dark berry notes and enticing earthiness. These grapes come from 30-year-old vines grown at 2,700 feet in elevation. Guided by the understanding that great wine begins in the vineyard, our Spanish winemaking partners employ eco-friendly viticultural techniques and maintain a harmonious balance with nature. At harvest time, vineyard crews handpick the grapes during the cool night hours. The fruit then ferments in stainless steel tanks to preserve Syrah’s varietal freshness before oak influence brings out its complex secondary characteristics and enhances spice. As expected with every release from Espaldera, this wine combines the care of a vineyard manager and winemaker, both guided by Spanish winemaking tradition.

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.

  • A figure representing the Mulberry tasting note. Mulberry

With a delectable balance of fruit and umami flavors, this Syrah is worthy of a special occasion. Fresh earth scents join savory bacon fat aromas, a dense palate with firm tannins and gentle acidity. Ripe mulberry flavors and balsamic glaze accompany a rich mouthfeel and lasting finish.
