Shiraz / Syrah

Shiraz / Syrah  

Powerful, black-fruited, often aged in oak, syrah/Shiraz comes in varying styles but at the top (such as Hermitage) can be spectacular and very long-lived.

There is no question that Syrah is now the most fashionable red grape for new plantings in many New World countries, especially South Africa and Chile.

Here’s the full tasting note for...

Domaine Verzier, St Joseph, La Madone 2022

From 50 year old vines around the cellar near the stature of the Madonna.18 months in demi-muids, 20% new.  This is more savoury and sauvage than Empreinte, more Cornas-like: damson-fruited, mildly balsamic and with the density of low-yielding old vines. If Empreinte would be best paired with a simple steak, this needs a daube of beef, well-aged, dark meat slow-braised in red wine. Now-2030

A veritable hive of activity encompassing ripe mulberry and blackberry fruit and a smattering of vanilla oak spice which ebbs and flows across the solid frame of tannins and plump, mouth-watering texture. Long, peppery and superb! 97/100 and Platinum medal”, 2024 Decanter World Wine Awards.

The Verzier family has owned land here since 1828, but only in 1988 did father Philippe begin to focus on wine, ceasing the sale of grapes from his 2.5 hectares to the local co-operative and starting to bottle his own wine. Now the family farm 10 hectares of vines and son Maxime, having done apprenticeships in Burgundy, Alsace, South Africa and Canada, is working with his father. Philippe’s wife Isabelle studied naturopathic medicine, and the family apply those natural principles to tending their vines, for example using herbal sprays. All wines here are certified bio-dynamic (Demeter).

 

 

Great choice of good-value wines in the January sales. The website is really easy to use to make up an order. Delivery, as is often the case, was within 24 hours and, as usual, was well-packed.
