Syrah

Delicious with rosemary lamb cutlets or beef ribs with sweet potato chips.

Botrivier has a Mediterranean climate, which means longer growing seasons with moderate to warm temperatures.The conditions leading up to the 2016 harvest were hot and dry, leading to smaller berries and more concentrated flavours.

After pressing, wine was transferred to barrel (10% new) for 12 months.

Following careful hand-picking, the fruit was transferred through gravity into tanks with 30% remaining as whole clusters.Fermentation occurred spontaneously with a total maceration time of three to four weeks.
