Syrah 2019

Domaine Bessa Valley Syrah 2019: A Focused and Limited Expression of Syrah Domaine Bessa Valley Syrah 2019 is a concentrated and purposeful expression of Syrah, drawn from the finest parcels of the estate. This limited cuvée reflects the depth and natural spice of the variety, shaped by patient maturation in new French oak. It is a wine of presence and structure, composed rather than demonstrative. Tasting Profile & Sensory Experience The wine presents a deep, intense colour. The aromatic profile is marked by varietal spice and dark fruit, supported by subtle oak-derived notes that add depth without excess. On the palate, Syrah 2019 is rich and layered, with a firm structure and a sense of breadth. The spice-driven character is complemented by dark fruit and discreet smoky nuances from the new oak. The finish is long and resonant, carrying both depth and freshness. Terroir & Winemaking This Syrah comes from selected parcels of Domaine Bessa Valley, chosen for their ability to deliver concentration and aromatic intensity. The limited production reflects a focused selection rather than volume. Grape Variety:
  • 100% Syrah
Winemaking: The grapes are harvested by hand with strict quality control in the vineyard. After destemming and careful berry selection, whole berries are transferred by gravity into concrete tanks without crushing. Cold maceration precedes fermentation, followed by controlled alcoholic fermentation and extended warm maceration for depth of extraction. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, exclusively new oak, to build structure and complexity. The final blend is filtered and bottled.
