Dehesa del Carrizal Syrah

Notes - The Dehesa del Carrizal Estate is situated in the central area of the Iberian Peninsula known as the Montes de Toledo. It is an area of some 5,000 sq. km. with hills and a wide variety of game that enjoys a Mediterranean microclimate and separates the valleys of the Tajo and Guadiana rivers. Their vineyards of 23 hectares are planted primarily with Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as Syrah, Merlot and Chardonnay which are all grown on trellises. The cellar, built in 1999, is equipped with modern stainless steel installations and has all the technological means necessary for the careful elaboration of wine, and an ageing cellar with a capacity for 600 French Allier oak barrels. The young oenologist, Ignacio de Miguel, studied in Madrid and Bordeaux, and trained under Carlos Falcó and Michel Rolland. 100% Syrah aged in French Allier and Nevers oak casks for 15 months. Deep almost opaque black cherry in colour, elegant and intense berry fruit on the nose, voluptuous and rich in the mouth with very concentrated ripe blackcurrant and blackberry fruits harmonising perfectly with the toasted new oak flavours, a great and full finish with tannins prominent in the background.
