This is the first ever release of Sacromonte Syrah Reserva. Picked from a 0.5 hectare plot planted in 2017, just 250 litres were made. Half whole cluster ferment, half de-stemmed, this impressive red combines fruit and pepper, earth and chocolate, structure and charm. Just perfect with roast saddle of lamb.

Syrah Reserva

The beginning of a unique journey

In the heart of our vineyard, a tiny yet promising 0.5-hectare plot of Syrah was planted in 2017, marking the beginning of a unique journey. After five years of meticulous care and attention, in 2022, we managed to cultivate enough grapes for a significant vinification, though the production remained exclusive and limited to just 250 liters.

This year was special not only for the quantity but also for the technique: we carried out two separate vinifications to explore the full range of expressions of the Syrah. One was made with whole clusters, and the other with just berries, creating two radically different wine profiles. This duality captured the versatile essence of our grape, showcasing contrasting and complementary facets.

With the desire to further enrich the character of our wine, we decided to merge these two wines into a single oak barrel, where they rested together for only six months. This brief period in the barrel was carefully chosen to preserve and highlight the fruity intensity of the Syrah without the wood dominating its profile.

The result is nothing less than formidable: 280 bottles of an exceptionally unique wine. We invite wine lovers to discover for themselves the richness and complexity of this Syrah, a testament to the passion and innovation that define our winery.

Tasting
NOTES

The nose is filled with juicy blackberries and boysenberries combine with white and szechuan pepper, cloves and cinnamon from oak ageing. The ripe expression of the dark, fruit follows through on the palate, alongside dark chocolate and earthy notes. The wine has a charming lightness, crispness of acidity and a grippy structure from the tannins. Moderate alcohol and moderate mid-palate texture make this a complete and very well balanced wine.

Food
PAIRINGS

Serve with roast saddle of lamb, rosemary, fermented garlic and girolle mushrooms, or pan roasted fillet of beef with a herb crust.
