Domaine Garon Syrah "Les Grandes Parcelles" 2019
Garon Syrah "Les Grandes Parcelles" is affectionately referred to as a baby Côte-Rôtie.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Syrah. The fruit comes from large plots on steep, sun soaked vineyards in Ampuis, in the heart of the Côte-Rôtie. The vineyard has an altitude of 150–250 metres, experiences a continental climate, and has gneiss, granite and schist soils.
Taste Profile: Opens with a blackberry and violet floral nose. Elegant palate with fine tannins, nice tension and a fleshy texture. Its complexity continues to build, entice and beckon with intense black cherry, blackberry and black pepper flavours. Closes in a long, balanced and savoury finish.
Winemaking Process: Hand harvesting of the fruit, followed by traditional and gentle vinification. Deliberately subtle oak ageing so as to entice you back and again.
