Product information "Keermont Steepside Syrah 2019"
The Keermont Steepside Syrah is an incredibly intense wine of bright strawberry red in the glass. Spicy as well as floral aromas enchant the nose, accompanied by fine hints of cinnamon, ripe strawberries and blackcurrants. On the palate, this cracker of a Syrah presents itself full-bodied and broad with ripe nuances of spicy fruits. Its firm structure gives the wine a juicy, dry and long finish, accompanied by lively and hearty nuances of red fruits.
The vineyards of Steepside Syrah are located at an altitude of 300 m above sea level on fertile soils of red clay with a particularly high iron and quartz content. These deep granitic soils, in combination with intense sunlight, produce incredibly strong and well-structured wines with slightly herbaceous and wonderfully spicy aromas.

The hand-picked grapes for this masterful Syrah come 100% from Keermont's own vineyards and have been vinified separately according to vine block and degree of maturity. The fermentation process took place in a natural, traditional and particularly gentle way in open fermenters. After fermentation, the wine matured for 20 months in French barriques (500 l) and was then bottled by hand, unfiltered
