Pyros Syrah Barrel Selected 2018

TASTING NOTES

Deep, dark red color. It shows a spicy character mingled with notes of dried fruits and ripe fruits. It is fresh and sweet in the mouth, with a refined texture of tannins, which are typical of Pedernal wines.

Vineyards are located at Valle de Pedernal at 1,300 m. a. s. l., at a different, virgin and wild terroir. Daily average temperatures during grape ripening range from 15 to 20°C, a temperature range of 20°C, annual rainfalls are 150 mm, apart from winter snowfall. Water for irrigation come from snowmelt and rains and the system used is drip irrigation. Soils are alluvial made up by gravel of different sizes (angular shape) and soil composition (mainly calcareous stones and “Pedernal” silex, among others) combined with layers of fine materials such as sand, silt and clay. Soils are poor, with a low content of organic matter but with excellent water retention and distribution. They show good drainage and low ground compaction.
