Syrah (Shiraz)

The Syrah grape (called Shiraz in Australia) has always been grown in the Languedoc but is currently experiencing a renaissance. Its complex tannins give concentration and structure, a deep colour, finesse, and, on occasion, a roasted, smokey character. When mature it can suggest game and mushrooms, even burnt rubber or tar.

Domaine de Trévallon Rouge / 2000 / Red
£ 42.50
His red wine is traditionally vinified in wooden open top fermentors, with low yields, late picking and long cuvaison, is rich, powerful and complex with the smoky ripeness of Syrah balancing the firm structure of Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine spends 2 years in wooden foudres with about 10% new barriques. The 2001 vintage is extremely concentrated and truly outstanding. * Please enquire within for older vintages and magnums.

Clot de L'Oum - Saint Bart Vieilles Vignes / 2004 / Red / Magnum
£ 46.95
A blend of one third each Syrah on schist, with their best parcelles of Grenache on granite and schist, and Carignan on gneiss, on a vineyard parcelle of Saint Barthélémy which gives the cuvée its name. The Carignan, especially, is outstanding in this blend. This is the most “Mediterranean” of the three wines, more “sauvage”, as he puts it, ideal for Mediterranean food, with powerful ripe fruit, spicy and gamey. Learn More
