TECHNICAL DATA

Variety: 100% Syrah
Harvest: Hand-picked
Origin: Casablanca Valley
Vinification: This wine is the result of several Syrah batches, which were fermented in small tanks. The first step before fermentation was an average 7-day maceration at 8ºC. This was followed by alcoholic fermentation lasting 10 days in stainless steel tanks with controlled temperature, ranging from 28 to 30°C. After fermentation and before racking, the wine underwent a 7-day skin maceration. 60% of the wine aged for 11 months in French and American oak barrels. The remaining 40% was kept in stainless steel tanks. Before bottling, both components were blended and stored for several months in tanks.

Aroma: A harmonious blend of rich, ripe varietal fruit with hints of cassis liqueur and red fruits, with an elegant touch of oak.
Color: Dark purple-red
Taste: Subtle varietal flavors of ripe plums and red berries with added complexity from the aging oak. Well-balanced, soft taste with firm tannins and a long finish.
Aging: Although the wine is drinkable with its perfect balance, further aging would lead to the development of a more complex wine.
Alcohol: 13.5%
