This Syrah typically offers a fruit-forward profile with spicy undertones, characteristic of the Languedoc region.
Expect to find flavors of ripe dark fruits like blackberry, plum, and black cherry, often complemented by notes of black pepper, licorice, and sometimes a hint of garrigue (the wild herbs of the region). The tannins are generally medium-bodied, making it an easy-drinking and versatile wine. Some examples may display smoky nuances or earthy characteristics depending on the specific vineyard and vinification techniques.
Premium Feature
Serving Temperature
Serve slightly chilled, around 60-65°F (15-18°C), to enhance its fruit and spice flavors.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, hearty stews, and cheeses with moderate intensity. Consider dishes with herbs and spices that complement the wine's peppery notes.
Glassware
A standard red wine glass with a wide bowl will allow the aromas to develop fully.
Decanting
Generally, decanting is not necessary for this style of Syrah, especially if it's a younger vintage. However, allowing it to breathe for 15-20 minutes can soften the tannins and enhance the aromas.
