Information about "Sijnn Free Reign 3rd Edition"
The Sijnn Free Reign 3rd Edition reveals a deep crimson color in the glass, combined with a wonderfully dense yet expressive nose. It showcases multiple layers of complexity, with herbal and earthy notes alongside a burst of red fruit. Composed of 65% Syrah and 35% Touriga Nacional from two premium plots of low-yield bush vines, this wine beautifully combines umami influences with hints of lavender. The aromatic profile and palate create a gentle interplay between seductive scents and charming flavors, culminating in a stunning, silky texture that delights the senses with a vibrant hint of red berries.
A specific layering process was applied in the production of this wine: whole Syrah berries are placed individually, destemmed and gently laid at the bottom of the fermentation container. The second layer consists of whole Syrah grapes, followed by the final layer of gently destemmed and crushed Touriga Nacional. This layered vessel was left to ferment, occasionally undergoing a 'punch down' to moisten the cap. After fermentation, the grapes remained on the skins for six weeks to fully integrate and develop this ethereal flavor profile.
Only 560 bottles were hand-filled, waxed, and labeled.
