Information about "Sijnn Low Profile 2022"
A captivating bouquet of fresh blueberry compote intertwines with elegant notes of rosemary and delicate hints of licorice and charcuterie, creating a symphony of aromas. On the palate, the Sijnn Low Profile 2022 reveals a juicy and energetic character, harmoniously balancing the fine flavors proclaimed by its nose, complemented by a refreshing finish that lingers beautifully. This wine’s name reflects the meticulous work of Sijnn's team, who excavated over 200 profile pits to find the perfect vineyard spots, embodying an unpretentious approach to winemaking.
The finish is defined by long, dry, and smooth tannins, showcasing a vibrant and expressive blend comprised of 74% Syrah, 11% Grenache Noir, 6% Chenin Blanc, 5% Tinta Amarella, 3% Mourvèdre, and 1% Carignan.
Hand-harvested grapes are sorted in small crates during the cool mornings. The grapes undergo de-stemming and gentle pressing into small open fermentation tanks and oak barrels. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with natural yeasts. A maceration time of 5–7 days is followed by a single pressing using a traditional basket press and malolactic fermentation in barrels. Aging occurs for over 20 months in older French oak barrels, with multiple racking for gradual clarification. The wine is bottled by hand, unrefined and unfiltered.
