Syrah
75cl * 14.5% ABV * Colchagua Valley, Chile
Celebrating the coming together of two great continents, represented by two great winemakers (Felipe Tosso, from Chile and John Duval from Australia), is Pangea - a wine that symbolises that time when the world was one large land mass. The 2018 vintage received an exceptional score of 96pts from Tim Atkin MW.
A well-rounded, distinguished wine with an intense, dark colour. It has delicious, complex aromas which come through in the mouth with soft notes of red and blue berries, harmoniously intermingled with spices like black pepper, dark chocolate and subtle notes of vanilla and caramel. At essence, a Syrah from the Apalta Valley that faithfully expresses its terroir of granitic soils with high quartz content, properties that are reflected in every glass. This is a well-structured wine with plenty of acidity and ripe, firm tannins.
"Dark plums, cedar, smoke, violets and grilled herbs on the nose. Medium-to full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Dark and compact with a fleshy texture. Rich and spicy with a peppery core of black fruit on the mid-palate and a flavorful finish. Drink or hold." James Suckling
Pairs well with beef and venison.
