Round and fleshy reds with a velvety texture, showing aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, cocoa and truffle notes with age. Supple tannins, generous alcohol, indulgent finish. Pillar of Libournais (Pomerol with Pétrus, Saint-Émilion with Cheval Blanc and Ausone) and signature of Super Tuscans, Italian Wales and Washington State. A cross of Cabernet Franc × Magdeleine Noire, France's most planted red variety.
Tropical vineyard in the Vale do São Francisco (9°S), 1,000 km from the equator, semi-arid climate (600 mm, 3,100 hours of sun/year) enabling 2. 5 harvests per year, unique in the world. Syrah is the signature full-bodied and sun-drenched red with intense blackberry, candied plum, pepper and spiced notes, round tannins and brilliant fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo complement.
