Viña Sutil Syrah Limited Release

Wine Description & Tasting Notes

In 1990, Viña Sutil was established in the Colchagua Valley. This dream expanded in its early decades to the country’s top denominations of origin. From Limarí in the north to the coastal Leyda Valley, from the renowned Maipo Valley in central Chile to the southern valleys of Maule, Curicó, and Cauquenes.

The grapes for Sutil’s Syrah are grown in their vineyard in Tabali, located in the coastal sector of the Limari Valley, 25 km straight
to the Pacific Ocean and 205 meters above sea level near the 30th parallel. The vineyard is located on an amphitheater-shaped
slope on the south bank of the Limari River, with various angles of exposure to the North, on alluvial soil with differing levels of
surface clay, rounded stones throughout the profile, which is deep with streaks of calcareous material, primarily composed of
calcium carbonate. The calcareous rocks existing in the high peaks of the Andes were swept away by the ice melting towards
the lower parts of the valley, and deposited in the form of dust between the stones of the alluvial soil under our vineyard. The
cold coastal climate is highly influenced by the Pacific Ocean, with very luminous days and windy afternoons moderating
temperatures during the grapes ripening period, resulting in a slow maturation process with a strong concentration of aroma and flavours.

Nose: Combination of ripe red fruits, jam, nutmeg, and subtle hints of smoked toast.

Palate: Smooth and voluminous with velvety tannins.

Food Pairings: Game meats, duck or pheasant, and strong-flavoured cheeses.
