SY Shiraz trocken - Christian Hirsch

SY Shiraz trocken - Christian HirschThe SY Shiraz dry presents itself in the glass with a dense, purplish-red color that immediately catches the eye. Even when swirling, it shows an impressive density and fullness, evident from the clear church windows on the rim of the glass. This red wine seduces the nose with wonderfully expressive aromas of ripe blackberries, accompanied by spicy notes such as pepper and a subtle leather hint. On the palate, the dryness of the wine unfolds, underlined by a residual sugar of just 6.3 grams. Its juicy character comes through excellently thanks to the fine balance between fruit acidity and an incredibly meaty mouthfeel. In the finish, the SY Shiraz delights with exceptional length, where the aromas of blackberry are present once again. Additionally, mineral notes join in, seemingly carried by the clay soils on which the vines flourish. This German quality wine clearly elevates itself above simpler qualities and enchants even the connoisseur with its remarkable complexity and elegance. Vinification of the SY Shiraz by Christian Hirsch Weine This red wine clearly focuses on the grape variety Syrah, known for its powerful and diverse aromas. The grapes for the SY Shiraz come from the best locations in Württemberg, where the vines grow on mineral-rich clay soils. After optimal ripeness, the careful harvest is done exclusively by hand. This responsible picking ensures that only the best grapes make it into the vinification process. After harvesting, the grapes are quickly brought to the pressing house and crushed to extract their full juice. The fermentation takes place in small wooden barrels, with temperatures being carefully controlled to ensure optimal conditions. After fermentation, the wine matures for several months in new oak barrels. This aging in new wood imparts a particularly meaty texture to the SY Shiraz and emphasizes its complex aromas. The harmonization of the various flavor nuances is the result of this loving and precise production.
