Winemaking
The grapes were hand-picked. After the destemmed and crushed, the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks with pistons. The fermentation temperature is 22-24C to conserve the fruit's aromas. After 12 days was the malolatic fermentation 100% done. Aging in French barriques for 8 months

93/100. Vivid, evocative Syrah bursting with engaging flavours of tapenade, black pepper and rich, dark fruit. This spicy, savoury style is tailor made for venison or game dishes. Superb value. (2011 vintage)

If Hawkes Bay – and specifically Gimblett Gravels district and producers such as Elephant Hill and Craggy Range – is New Zealand’s best spot for Syrah, in Chile it’s the far north. The most extreme example is made in the Atacama desert by the Ventisquero winery…A little further South, in the Elqui Valley, home to astronomers, hippies and the producers of local spirit pisco before the wine industry discovered…Falernia’s example is always stunning value.
