Tasting Notes
The 50 Barricas Syrah drinks well above its price point. The wine shows a nice balance of ripe fruit, spices and oak notes. Reminiscent of Syrah from the Rhone, the nose is fresh and bright with aromas of smoke, raspberry, and bacon fat. The palate is medium to full with great acidity and a touch of heat.
Method
This is a blend of 85% Syrah and 15% Monastrell fermented in concrete tanks then racked into racked to American oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation takes place and then it is transferred to 300-liter previously used French oak barrels to age for 6 months.
