Syrah Matsa

SYRAH sans sulfites 2023

WINE TYPE: Red Dry Wine

CATEGORY: PGI Attica

VARIETAL COMPOSITION: 100% Syrah

VINEYARD: The Syrah comes from the organic vineyard of Ktima Matsa in Kantza, Attica. The vineyard's yield does not exceed 2.0 kg per vine, and the vines are 25 years old.

VINIFICATION: Low-intervention winemaking. Selective hand harvesting and strict sorting in the vineyard. The grapes are kept in a cooling chamber for 24 hours at 8°C, then transferred to the destemmer. Subsequently, they are placed in stainless steel tanks for pre-fermentation cold maceration at 10-12°C. Alcoholic fermentation starts 2 days later at 20°C. Just before completion, malolactic fermentation takes place, and the wine remains in stainless steel tanks for another 6 months.

TASTING NOTES: Deep ruby color. Opulent nose with fresh, concentrated fruit accompanied by notes of fresh butter and leather. The palate is rich with soft tannins and moderate acidity, mirroring the nose's aromatic profile. Very long finish.

SERVING TEMPERATURE: 14-16°C

Pairs well with grilled meats and vegetables, and is an excellent match for stewed meat.
