Syrah Dominio de Valdepusa DO - Marques de Grinon

It is not only its deep dark purple color that makes the single-varietal Syrah Dominio de Valdepusa from Marques de Grinon so impressive.

The bouquet captivates with intense aromas of ripe blueberries, raspberries, currants and plums - underpinned by exotic spices. On the palate, this Spanish red wine is juicy with wonderfully soft and very present tannins. The subtle acidity structure offers a splendid interplay with the abundance of fruit. The finish is wonderfully long and persistent.

Vinification of the Marques de Grinon Syrah Dominio de Valdepusa

The grapes come from the Spanish D.O. Dominio de Valdepusa wine-growing region and from vines that are 13 years old. The soils are rich in limestone and clay.

The harvest from September to October is carried out exclusively by hand. The harvested grapes are gently pressed in the winery and the resulting must is fermented in stainless steel tanks. Afterwards, this wine rests for a total of 12–15 months in French Allier oak barrels.
