Product information "The Foundry Syrah 2016"
The Foundry Syrah presents itself of deep and dense ruby red with violet reflections in the glass and beguiles the nose with an exciting bouquet of wild herbs, fragrant floral violets and ripe plums as well as with clearly outlined hints of savoury spices and white pepper. The palate is intense and lush with generous ripe fruit nuances, excellent structure and silky smooth tannins. In the finish long-lasting and soft, a delicious reverberation of aromatic fruit and fine spices spoils here.

The grapes were partially destemmed and crushed (about 30% of the grapes remained as whole berries on the bunch). Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, with the first half of fermentation starting spontaneously. The second half of fermentation took place with the addition of a neutral Rhône yeast. The pomace was submerged twice daily at the beginning of fermentation and periodically pumped over during the last three days of fermentation. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was pressed off and sent directly to barrels where the wine completed malolactic fermentation. French Allier oak barrels were used, of which 7% were new wood and 93% were second growth. After 15 months of aging, the best barrels were selected and the wine was bottled unfiltered. A harmless sediment (depot) can occur due to the unfiltered process, but this is in no way a disadvantage in terms of quality.
