Stephane Ogier Syrah la Rosine 2022 750ml

Another superb value from Stephane Ogier, crafted from vines planted on the commune of Turpin on granite soils, the 2022 La Rosine Syrah offers up aromas of Timut pepper, violets, mulberries and dark berries mingled with lovely floral hints. Moderately weighted and delicately juicy, it’s round and perfectly balanced with a sweet mid-palate and a fresh core of fruit that leads to a long, fresh and delicate finish. Although it can wait 1-2 years, it is ready to drink now.

Varietal

Syrah

Known as Syrah in most countries around the world, and Shiraz in Australia and certain other regions of the New World, this grape varietal has proven over the centuries to be one of the most powerful and flavorful red wine grapes there is. It is now one of the planet’s most widely grown grapes, and is a favorite with wineries as a result of its robustness and versatility. It isn’t easy to identify many characteristics of this particular varietal, due to the fact that it is highly versatile and shows significant differences in flavor and character depending on the terroir it is grown in, and the climatic conditions of the region. However, Syrah is most widely associated with full bodied, strong and loud red wines, packed full of fruity and spicy flavors, held in a beautifully deep red liquid.
