This bold Syrah delivers a captivating sensory experience with its bright ruby appearance and complex aromatic profile. Wild berries mingle with distinctive black pepper and thyme notes, while the wine's fresh acidity is beautifully balanced by velvety, well-integrated tannins. The result is smooth and harmonious on the palate. Versatile at the table, it complements charcuterie, grilled steaks, and smoked cheeses with equal grace, whilst also pairing wonderfully with robust seafood dishes like seared swordfish finished with rosemary.
