Classic Syrah 2021 - La Motte

The full-bodied character of this red wine goes perfectly with rich, tasty dishes, grilled food (including grilled vegetables), game dishes (especially with steamed fruit and sweet aromatic spices), peppercorn-crusted steaks and grilled meat in a sweet sauce. The abundant fruits of red wine also pick up on the sweetness in jellies, chutneys and berry sauces.

The Syrah vineyards of the La Motte winery are between 10 and 30 years old and are spread over various blocks with different soil profiles. The vineyard blocks are located between 200 and 300 meters above sea level. The soil is sandstone and granite and varies from a heavier texture along the slopes to a sandy, well-drained texture where the landscape is flatter. All vineyards have trellises. Different clones and microclimates on the estate give the wine different characteristics. The grapes were harvested when ripe. They were refrigerated overnight before they were 100% destemmed and the whole berries were placed in stainless steel tanks. Selected yeasts were added immediately and fermentation took place at 24 to 28 degrees Celsius. The tanks were pumped around twice a day with good ventilation. To promote elegance and soft extraction, the mash was pressed before fermentation was complete. The wine was aged for 24 months in 300-liter French oak barrels, 30% of which were new.
