85% Syrah, 15% Petit VerdotGrape variety abbreviation:
SY, PVÖnologe:
Paolo TiefenthalerErnte:
Both red grape varieties are harvested when fully ripe (the Syrah may even be slightly shrivelled) .Vinification:
Both red grape varieties are vinified in different ways. The submerged cap technique is favoured for the Syrah which ferments on native yeasts for 18-20 days. During the first few days of this process the fermenting must is racked and returned (the process of délestage) several times. Punching down is the technique adopted for the Petit Verdot as this approach guarantees an optimal extraction of the grape’s tannins and polyphenolic compounds. As the new wines are carefully drawn off, each to its own first-fill barriques, the colour, tannins and aromas still present in the fermented skins are extracted in the soft presses to which they slide, aided by nothing more than natural gravity.Ageing:
After 22 - 24 months in oak the wines are blended and left undisturbed in the bottle for a further 10-12 months.Residual sugar:
