Casa Marin Syrah

The Syrah Litoral is the newest member of the Casa Marin line and typifies our visionary, cutting-edge style. Forget the classic Syrah and be prepared to try something unique, a wine that originates in an extreme coastal climate. The grapes are handpicked during the first two weeks of May and punch downs and daily pump-overs are done to encourage useful aeration. The wine is fermented with its natural yeast and then aged for 16 months in used French oak barrels, with no new oak added. This is a young but serious Syrah. The nose is sweet and spicy at the same time, showing subtle aromas of balsamic and floral notes such as lavender and violets. It is clean and pure on the palate with an intense and sharp acidity. It will surprise you!
