There, the Syrah vines thrive on calcareous clay soils that impart a fine mineral note to the wines. Harvesting is done by hand in order to select only the best and ripest grapes. After careful crushing, they undergo temperature-controlled maceration, which lasts around 15 to 20 days depending on the vintage. This process extracts the typical aromas and the deep red color. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and aromatics. The Saint-Joseph Syrah then matures for several months in French oak barrels, which lend the wine additional complexity and a fine hint of vanilla. The combination of careful selection, controlled processing and gentle maturation results in an exquisite red wine with great aging potential and unique character.
