Product information "Andreas Syrah 2018"
Dark ruby red with a pink rim in the glass, Andreas Shiraz exudes well rounded and lush aromas of ripe wild berries with seductive hints of fine spices, sweet caramel, hazelnut and dried plums. You can also sniff a hint of fine oak vanilla. Perfectly balanced on the palate, wonderful nuances of aromatic red fruits, tart sour cherries, fragrant raspberries, fine spices and black pepper unfold here. In the finish a fruity and rounded acidity with excellent structure and a lot of body is presented.

With great care, the grapes were hand-picked early in the morning and transported to the cool cellar. There the damaged and injured grapes were sorted out, the rest was destemmed, crushed and pumped into large steel barrels. Yeast was added and when fermentation began, the juice was pumped over the skin 3-4 times a day to extract colour, tannin and flavour. After fermentation was completed, the wine remained on the skins for another 5-8 days. The juice and skins were then separated and the malolactic fermentation took place in wood. The wine was allowed to mature for another 18 months in barriques.
