White Syrah

White Syrah Wine Details
Price:

Description: An extremely versatile, medium-bodied rose expressing hints of ripe cherry, guava, vanilla, and honey. This wine is crisp and long with a controlled, fruity finish. The elegant allure of this crisp varietal wine lies in its exotic floral aroma. Pairs wonderfully with cold hors d'oeuvres or fruit. Serve chilled.

Varietal Definition
Syrah:
Syrah is the eight hundred pound gorilla of Rhone grapes! In the vineyard and the winery, Syrah is typically an easy grape to work with - healthy, early ripening, resistant to mildew and rot; suitable for winemaking in a variety of styles. The wines from Syrah are tannic without being harsh. The wines will have a taste and smell of dark blue fruit like blackberries and blackcurrant, with a strong spicy side where one can find freshly ground pepper and other spices. Syrah is famous for its part in the French blends, such as Côtes du Rhone and Châteauneuf du Pape.
