The Syrah grapes we use to make this wine come from the Alto Vinalopó area, where the vines of this variety, of unquestionable Mediterranean character, take deep root in very poor calcareous clay soils. In the second week of September during the harvest of this plot, we obtain medium-sized, tight, cone-shaped bunches of grapes with an intense violet color in perfect health and ripeness, ideal for the wine that Rafa draws in his mind.
We start the vinification process with grapes cooled in chambers for a slower start of fermentation, which we carry out in stainless steel tanks, seeking a balance between the extraction of primary aromas, polyphenols and aromatic precursors for subsequent aging in barrels. In the quiet of the winery, resting in used French oak barrels, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation during its aging process, which Rafa decided to end after finding the desired balance in the wine after 10 months of aging in wood.
After years of seeking to exploit the potential of the Syrah variety, Rafa offers us an intense wine with violet reflections that seem to serve as a presentation of the aromas that we find when we bring the glass to the nose, lilacs and violet flowers accompany notes of berries such as blackberries, currants and blueberries all on a spicy background so typical of the variety and that is enhanced by the contribution of the notes from the barrel. Intense but friendly on the palate with great silkiness and elegance in the tannin, it fills the mouth and its pleasant aftertaste lingers in the memory.
