Information about "Kleine Zalze Family Reserve Syrah 2021"
The Kleine Zalze Family Reserve Syrah showcases a deeply saturated color and unfolds a bouquet of lush black plums on the palate. A harmonious transition leads into a velvety finish with delicate hints of raspberry and white pepper. With its silky tannin structure and a rich fruit profile, this Syrah is a true gem for enthusiasts seeking elite wines.
The 2021 vintage is the culmination of extensive experimentation aimed at transitioning from a Shiraz to a Syrah style. This was achieved through whole bunch fermentation and the inclusion of ripe stems, moving away from heavily toasted new oak. The wine is aged in 65% new French oak, with the remainder in second- and third-fill barrels.
