Tanagra Syrah Casablanca Valley, 2017

Everything involved in the production of Tanagra is done by hand. Grapes are picked by hand, crushed by hand and placed directly by hand into barrel for the fermentation. This is an intense wine, with exuberant dark fruit aromas of crushed blackberries and blackcurrants complemented by raspberry yoghurt notes. After a seven-day cold soak, fermentation took place in barrels with skins remaining in contact with the juice for a total 30 days. It is supple, rich and smooth with vanilla and red fruit flavours leading to a savoury finish. It was matured for 17 months in a combination of 72% French oak and 28% American with 80% new.
