Summer was mild but with minimal rain days, producing low yields. The result was near-perfect ripening conditions for Syrah. 23 average 28 hl/ha average 100% WINEMAKING WHOLE BUNCH DESTEMMED FERMENTATION VESSEL FERMENTATION BARREL TYPE NEW BARREL % MATURATION FINING FILTRATION BOTTLED 27% 73% Open top Frenck oak cuves Indigenous French and Austrian oak barriques and puncheons 32% 17 months No Yes – coarse filtration December 2022 WINE ANALYSIS ALCOHOL RESIDUAL SUGAR PH ACIDITY 13 Nil 3.62 5.3 g/l TASTING NOTE: Very dark purple core. Abundant sweet, black fruits lead the bouquet, notably boysenberry and blueberry aromas. The tannin structure of the wine is exemplary and seamless from start to finish. The wine shows considerable drinkability in its youth, and the intensity is the highest in several years. One of our finest examples of Le Sol.
