The finish is long and has a classic mouth feel, which only the syrah grape can provide. The grapes were picked at optimum maturity and rotary fermented to achieve the best of extractions.

This environment concentrates the characteristics by restricting the yields. After the grapes are picked, the most modern techniques are used to capture all the qualities
