Cem Reis Syrah Reserva Tinto

Description

Right then, let’s have a look at this one… This Cem Reis Syrah Reserva certainly throws you a curveball – a delightful surprise from the Alentejo, wouldn’t you agree? The late-night harvest, painstakingly chosen, sets the stage for a fermentation process that clearly enjoys a bit of a chat. The Syrah itself seems to have been persuaded to loosen up a little, revealing mature black fruit notes with a hint of mint, and a wonderfully full attack. The judicious use of 50% French and 50% American oak guarantees both richness and a fantastic length on the palate – perfect with a proper black pork dish, naturally.
