Mont Rochelle Syrah 2007

Tasting notes:
This wine shows an intense purple red colour, a classic wine boasting mint, pepper and spice, interlaced with intense black fruits and violets. There is a complex mouth feel of seductive blackberry fruits, spice, and an enticing meatiness that combines harmoniously, to produce a well balanced wine.
Vinification:
Hand picked at 24.5 to 26 degrees balling. Destemmed and cold soaked for 3 days. The wine was fermented using Lavlin M yeast, and the temperatures were kept between 27 and 30 degrees C. Wine was matured in 30% new French and American oak barriques, from different forests in France and USA (namely Allier, Never, and Troncais forest). Oak maturation occurred over a period of 26 months.
