Details and technical informations about Winery Lawrence Dunham's Sky Island Petite Sirah.
Discover the grape variety: Bertille Seyve 872
Colourful, simple fruity reds with a light purple robe, silky tannins and an airy palate with preserved acidity, showing undemonstrative aromas of red and black fruits. Early-ripening and productive. Now marginal, surviving in a few varietal collections and bearing witness to the history of post-phylloxera hybridisation in France. French black hybrid obtained in the early 20th century by Bertille Seyve, an interspecific disease-resistant cross.

The wine region of Arizona
Emerging US Southwest state, high-altitude vineyards (1,370-1,580 m) on volcanic soils. Rhone and Mediterranean grapes are the stars: signature Syrah (blackberry, pepper, olive, violet, round tannins), fruity Grenache, dense sun-drenched Mourvedre. Also spicy Tempranillo and fruity Sangiovese. Aromatic Viognier (apricot, flowers) and deeply coloured Petite Sirah in whites.
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
