Miquel Jané Syrah 2016

Appearance: We are in sight, a syrah with a cherry red color of high standing, with some blue-brown tones in the edge of the cup very marked.

Aroma: it gives us a touch of pepper, mixed with very accentuated notes, of a ripe strawberry, very sweet.

Palate: Its passage through the mouth is long and elegant, where it also highlights the ripe red fruit. The combination in the mouth is elegant, where the balance between fruit, tannin and acidity is perfect.

Elaboration:

The Syrah grape comes from vines of more than 25 years old, located at the threshold of the Natural Park of Foix, in Castellet i la Gornal. Coming from organic farming, and with careful soil management, the winery achieves little grape production, which makes the concentration of aromas and colour exceptional, and a very important thing, perhaps the most important, that allows the skin to reach its optimum point of maturation. Grape harvested at dawn and immediately transported to the winery. It then skids and puts it with the skins in the fermentation tanks. Daily soaps, normally 2, to extract the colour and aromas of the skins. Temperature controlled, around 23 degrees.

The winery decides when the wine should be discovered, usually between 10 and 15 days of contact with the skin. Once they decide that the juice must be separated from the skins, they make a light pressing to the skins. When the alcoholic fermentation is finished, malolactic fermentation begins.

After the malolactic fermentation, they transfer it and leave it aged in stainless steel with the fine lees for 4 or 5 months, making several batonnage, looking for a wine with more structure and complexity.

One of the most important characteristics of Syrah grapes is its colour, always very powerful. We are in sight, a syrah with a cherry red color of high standing, with some blue-brown tones in the edge of the cup very marked.

In the nose, it marks a point of pepper, mixed with very accentuated notes, a ripe strawberry, very sweet.

Its passage through the mouth has a range of definitions, starting with its freshness, then marks a point of roasting, characteristic of this farm, which is due to the extraction of bones during fermentation. Its passage through the mouth is long and elegant, where it also highlights the ripe red fruit. The combination in the mouth is elegant, where the balance between fruit, tannin and acidity is perfect.
