2022 La Cayetana Syrah

Aromas of fresh blackberry, blue plum, crushed black pepper, and dried lavender lead into a savory, medium-bodied palate. Flavors of wild dark berries, cured meat, tapenade, and stony minerals blend with a gentle herbal lift. The texture is supple and focused, framed by fine, chalky tannins and bright natural acidity through a clean, peppery finish.

Farmed with low-intervention principles and hand-harvested at modest sugar levels to retain natural lift. The grapes undergo spontaneous whole-cluster fermentation using native yeasts in raw concrete vats. Aging takes place in neutral concrete and used oak barrels to preserve site identity, fruit clarity, and fresh aromatic complexity without heavy wood influence.

Grapes are sourced from high-elevation vineyards in Los Chacayes, a sub-region of the Uco Valley in Mendoza, Argentina. Situated at the foot of the Andes Mountains, the vineyard sits on stony, alluvial soils packed with gravel and chalky limestone. Intense sun exposure combined with cool mountain night air creates a dramatic diurnal shift, driving deep color and structure while preserving crisp natural freshness.
