Part of the batch underwent malolactic fermentation in used French oak barrels. Aging: Aged in stainless steel vats until bottling. Tasting Notes: At Quinta do Sobreiró de Cima, we selected the best Syrah grapes to create this varietal. Deep garnet in color, it has a restrained aroma of very ripe black fruit, spices, and balsamic notes typical of the grape variety. Aging in French and American oak added a slight touch of cocoa and toasting to the mineral character of the Syrah. On the palate, it is intensely fruity, with velvety tannins and a long, persistent finish.
