Description

Robert Biale Royal Punishers Petite Syrah 2021

Robert Biale Royal Punishers Petite Syrah has a deep black ruby colour. The complex nose opens with aromas of ripe red plum, currants, cherry pie, violets, figs, molasses and blackberry. Medium-bodied and dry on the palate with wide grained tannins, a fresh acidity and textured layers. Juicy blackberry and plum flavours blend with complex notes of chocolate cake, oak spice and a hint of black pepper. Closes in a long and lingering finish.

100% Petite Syrah. The fruit for this wine comes from the Robert Biale "Royal Punishers" vineyard in Napa Valley, California. Known for its dark colour, firm structure, and deep blue and black fruit flavours, Petite Syrah is perfectly suited to Napa Valley’s moderate and dry growing season.

The wine ages in Burgundian oak for 17 months

Elegant & Structured Reds

From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.

These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes

Malolactic fermentation

MLF is a process that results in reduction in acidity & the production of buttery texture & taste profile, often applied to more bodied styles of red & white wines
While not all creamy whites or rich fruity reds undergo MLF, and can adopt similar profiles from barrel ageing,
