One Of Chile's Top Syrahs
Description
From Maipo Valley’s Viña Chocalán estate, this Syrah is one of the best coming out of Chile. The vineyards benefit from the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean, and, here, the estate’s Origen Syrah is livened up by Viognier which gives it a silky texture and perfumed aromatic lift. It’s an elegant, modern wine with lots of dark fruit along with a hint of smoke and black pepper. A top Chilean red.
Tasting Note
This Syrah has been livened-up by the addition of some Viognier which adds floral perfume and texture to the bramble fruit, liquorice and pepper.
