A monovariety full of personality
09/12/2022From Quinta S. João Batista comes this 100% Syrah wine. Designed to exemplify the best of this Terroir and to make wines that show the behavior of the Syrah variety in the soil, climate and human intervention conditions of the region in which it operates, the Biosphere Reserve of Paúl do Boquilobo, over time.
Intense garnet color with violet nuances, intense aroma of wild berries such as blueberries and currants. In the mouth you can feel a good acidity and smooth tannins that give it good structure. Vinification without wood, favoring all the exuberance of the fruit.
Syrah is the main grape variety in the vineyard area at Quinta de S. João Batista (31 ha) and has adapted very well to the warm climate of the region.
On the farm there are several plots of different ages, planted between 2000 and 2019, with different orientations and sun exposure, different types of soil, some with more organic matter than others and with different altitudes. Due to the location of the QSJB the phenolic maturations are balanced. For this wine, the best plot was selected, which consistently over the years offered us the best.
The new member of the Cabeça de Toiro family is paired with game dishes and other less structured meats. A wine with a distinct personality that will be exclusively distributed on the Horeca channel.
