Ombú Syrah Reserva - Bracco Bosca

With the Bracco Bosca Ombú Syrah Reserva comes a first-class red wine in the swirled glass. In this it shows a wonderfully bright, crimson color. Tilting the glass slightly, a transition of the wine color towards garnet red can be seen at the edges of this barrel-aged wine. If you swirl the wine glass, you can perceive a perfect balance in this red wine, as it does not stand out on the glass walls in a watery, syrupy or liqueur-like way. In the glass, this red wine from Bracco Bosca shows aromas of violets, complemented by coffee/mocha, pepper and leather. This red wine from Bracco Bosca is perfect for wine connoisseurs who would prefer 0.0 grams of residual sugar in their wine. The Ombú Syrah Reserva already comes quite close to this, as it was pressed with just 1.8 grams of residual sugar. Balanced and complex, this melting red wine presents itself on the palate. Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the Ombú Syrah Reserva flatters the palate with a soft feeling, without lacking juicy liveliness at the same time. The finale of this aged red wine from the wine-growing region of Canelones, more precisely from Atlantida, finally thrills with good reverberation. The finish is also accompanied by mineral hints of the soils dominated by clay.

Vinification of the Ombú Syrah Reserva from Bracco Bosca

This red wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, and that is Syrah. Only impeccable grape material was harvested for this exceptionally balanced varietal wine from Bracco Bosca. The grapes grow close to the sea in Canelones. The vines here dig their roots deep into soils of clay. Due to the balancing influence of the nearby sea, the grapes ripen more slowly and develop more aromatic depth. At the time of optimal ripeness, the grapes for the Ombú Syrah Reserva are harvested exclusively by hand without the use of coarse and hardly selective grape harvesters. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly transferred to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully broken up. Then fermentation takes place in small wood at controlled temperatures. After the completion of fermentation, the elegant Ombú Syrah Reserva is aged for another 6 months in oak barriques.
