About This Wine
Tarreñas Sombras
Syrah
This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.
Winemaking Following harvest, the Syrah grapes undergo a meticulous hand-sorting process to select the finest clusters. Fermentation with native yeast coaxes out the enticing nuances created by the vineyard and vintage. Before bottling, the wine is aged to perfection using heavily toasted French oak to impart plentiful notes of spice that complement its concentrated fruit flavors.
Vintage Our Syrah is harvested from old vines rooted in the rocky, mountainous soils of Chile’s Rapel Valley. The 2021 vintage began with heavy rains in January, which set the stage for a cooler growing season than the previous two years. As summer unfolded, vineyards enjoyed warm temperatures as glorious sunny days shaped our richly flavorful Syrah. A final heat wave in late February brought ripeness levels to the finish line, creating beautifully ripe fruit perfectly timed for harvest in early March.
Pairing Logic This Syrah offers a balanced blend of oak, earth and spice notes, making it an excellent pairing companion for sweet and smoky flavors. Enjoy it with juicy, char-grilled meats seasoned with salt to enhance its full body and rich flavors. Spotlight its warm, woodsy notes by grilling meats and vegetables with wood chips or planks and season with peppery rubs. Use a balsamic base for marinades, stews or any hearty vegetarian dishes.
