Description

GranMonte The Orient Syrah 2017

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Syrah from Khao Yai, Thailand

Taste Profile: The palate shows ripe plums and black currant with complex, dry and generous mouthfeel with rich fruit, young yet refined tannins. Held together by balanced acidity and the long, sweet and toasty hints of coffee and cedar. It is robust with integrated vanilla oak, powerful tannins and long lingering finish

Winemaking Process: The Syrah was vinified with a long maceration period to get the full flavor and complexity. The Orient was aged in new and second year French and American oak barrels for twelve months for well-structured tannins and integration of oak characters.
