Signatura 1 Syrah

Winemaking Fermentation and aging: Fermented in 12.000 liter stainless steel vats for 10 days at 25-28ºC controlled temperature, with selected yeasts. Extended skin maceration for additional 10 – 15 days 100% malolactic fermentation. Aged in 225 liter new French oak barrels for 24 months.

Roberto Echeverría Jr has been the Chief Winemaker at Viña Echeverría since 2001.

Inspired by his French heritage, Roberto’s signature style produces wines with a combination of Old World elegance and New World energy. More European viticultural techniques include timely harvesting to avoid over ripeness and therefore good balance and control of alcohol levels.

Focus is on French varietals, barrels and yeasts, as well as longer fermentation and aging in barrels and diverse blending.

Tasting Notes This outstanding Syrah combines aromas of ripe raspberries, blueberries and blackberries with scents of dark chocolate and black pepper. Delicate notes of eucalyptus and spices add complexity to the palate. This rich and luscious wine offers a great structure, deep concentrated flavors and a smooth silky palate, with a long and persistent aftertaste. Food Pairings

This lush Syrah’s peppery quality marries well to a dark fruitiness that makes it the perfect accompaniment to summer barbecue and grilled foods of all kinds, as well as meat casseroles and peppered steak. It also complements meat dishes with fruit such as pork tenderloin with figs, lamb with apricots or Korean short ribs. Smoky dishes such as grilled aubergine also match well.
