Koyle Gran Reserva Syrah

The Gran Reserva range come from the first and the second terrace in Los Lingues Estate. The soil presents a matrix of rocks in different states of decomposition, mainly as fragmented alterites, which give the balance sought between vigour, productivity and quality. Mineral notes are expressed because of the balanced extraction through the deep roots.

The grapes were picked in extremely small, selected parcels (less than one bottle per plant) from high density vines in our Los Lingues Estate in Colchauga. The vines are farmed bio-dynamically in granitic rocky soils, where the roots can bring minerality and complexity from the rocks. The vineyards are carefully pruned, with almost no irrigation, to express as much as possible the origin. At optimum ripeness, the grapes are hand-picked in small boxes and brought to the cellar for careful sorting. Vinification is conducted in small tanks to get the best extraction of aromas, flavors and silky tannins. After fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barrels for fourteen months, with no filtration.

Clay texture with volcanic rocks and colluvial stones.
