Information about "Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Syrah 2022"
The Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Syrah captivates with its generous complexity, presenting a beautifully balanced restraint and finesse. Notes of ripe plums, wild berries, and rich chocolate envelop the palate, harmonizing with a soft finish that reveals hints of fine pepper spice and fragrant lavender. The smooth tannin structure provides a meticulously crafted framework for this esteemed and sophisticated Syrah, offering excellent aging potential.
Following temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel, the Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Syrah matured for 21 months in 30% new, 30% second-fill, and 40% third-fill French oak barrels.
