Manuel Manzaneque Syrah D.O. Finca Elez

This Estate, a member of Grandes Pagos de Castilla, is an authentic domaine with some 85 acres of vineyards that surround the cellar and are for the exclusive use of the Manzaneque wines. It is planted with the noble varieties, Cabernet, Merlot, Syrah and Chardonnay, which like their oak casks, were brought from Bordeaux, Burgundy and the Rodano. The grapes of these varieties as well as the native, Tempranillo, are very carefully selected and processed immediately after their collection from the vineyards. The conjunction of traditional and artesanal methods with advanced technology results in singular and exclusive wines.The Vineyards of the Elez Estate – Sierra de Alcaraz (Albacete) are at altitude of approximately 3000 ft.This 100% Syrah is aged in French oak barrels for 14 months. This wine has a very deep cherry colour, with concentrated black berry aromas and is fleshy with very ripe fruit and spices. Big on the palate, meaty and concentrated, with sweet tannins and packed with fruit. Big mouth-feel, with a long and very persistent finish.
