MORE INFORMATION:
Petite Sirah may be a small grape, but its flavour is anything but small. A good description of our Petite Sirah would be = big, bold and freaken memorable. This wine has a full body and a mouthfeel that is often described as chewy and intense, but offers a mix of spices, dark chocolate, caramel, liquorice and coffee. Black plum and cherry nuances come to mind, when whiffing the glass. Aged in 300L barrels, after spending more than 10 days on extended skin contact, post fermentation, has given us those grippy, yet smooth tannins.
