Las Pizarras Syrah 2022 6x75cl

Deep and intense purple-red in colour with ruby highlights, the 2022 vintage of Las Pizarras Syrah displays aromas reminiscent of incense, blueberries, some black pepper and nutmeg, plus a so??t touch of black olives. In the mouth, black cherries and blueberries are perceived, accompanied by spicy notes and some caramel and licorice. Its intense and penetrating palate o??fers a stony edge that is underlined by a vein of juicy acidity

Vineyards

The grapes used to produce this wine come entirely from our Aconcagua Costa estate, from specific plots with slate type rock. ??e temperature di??ferences in this cool climate location and the uniqueness of its soils and elevations enable each small plot to ripen at its own pace. Because of its proximity to the cold Pacific Ocean and its well-drained soils with abundant laminar rock, this vineyard delivers Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Syrah with exceptional complexity, depth, minerality and natural acidity.

Vintage

2022 was an exceptional vintage with low yields and healthy grapes due to a dry and harmonious temperature pattern that delivered wines with tremendous concentration and structure. Spring started with mild and dry days allowing a good budbreak and balanced development of the canopy. January was warmer than average, pushing towards a short and even veraison, promoting a uniform maturation of the grapes. The cooler following months encouraged a slow ripening, preserving the acidity and developing complexity in the grapes. ??e low crop and slow and steady ripening enables us to produce perfectly balanced wines, with full aromatic intensity, great concentration and freshness that re??lect the characteristics of our terroir.

Winemaking

The grapes were hand-picked from March 19th to April 1st and carefully selected. 7% was fermented whole cluster to enhance complexity on the nose and structure on the palate. ??e wine spent 7 to 12 days in contact with its skins, depending on the level of extraction desired. Las Pizarras Syrah was aged for 12 months, 60% in French oak barrels (5% new and 20% second use) and 40% in Stockinger foudres.
