Information about "Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Syrah 2022"
The Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Syrah showcases a captivating complexity, striking a harmonious balance of restraint and grace. On the palate, luscious flavors of ripe plums, forest berries, and chocolate coalesce, culminating in a soft finish adorned with delicate hints of pepper spice and aromatic lavender. The velvety tannin structure forms an intricate supporting framework for this distinguished and refined Syrah, suggesting an excellent aging capability.
Following temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, the Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Syrah matured for 21 months in 30% new, 30% second-fill, and 40% third-fill French oak barrels.
