Cuilleron Syrah Les Vignes d a Cote 2023

Syrah ‘Signé’ is not a district but a compound of the words Syrah and Viognier, the wine itself being an amalgamation of both varietals; 85% syrah, 15% viognier grown on shallow graniic soils. The grapes are hand-picked, then sorted, destemmed and crushed. Alcoholic fermentation is with native yeasts in open vats, and macerated for about 2 weeks. Matured 8 months in barriques. ‘Signe’ is tender and charming, with a mix of red berry fruits and flowers. On the palate: rounded and juicy, with a long fresh finish.
