2017 château de rey “oh rouge”

Description

Sustainable Syrah from Roussillon

In the commune of Canet en Roussillon, just a short jaunt from the Mediterranean Sea, you’ll find Château de Rey.  As fourth generation winemakers in this corner of the Roussillon, Cathy & Phillipe Sisqueille use sustainable farming methods to bring out the best in their vines.  The character in the bottle is a result of the ideal climate of breezes from the sea keeping freshness in the diverse wines offered here.  The personality of the domaine shines through not only in the unique flavor profiles of each wine produced, but also with the inventive and playful labels designed by Cathy.

This suave and fun Syrah is filled with boysenberry, licorice and cocoa notes. Great with charcuterie, burgers from the grill, or a meatball sandwich. Syrah with a Mediterranean influence. Hand harvested. Fermentation in stainless steel tank at 22-24 C. Saignee after 8 days. 4 months aging in stainless steel tank; no wood. Light stirring of fine lees.
