Syrah La Folie goes well with lamb, beef, game and spicy cheese dishes. Highly recommended: a tender beef entrecôte in an intense tomato sauce, served with an aromatic herb and mushroom risotto – a treat for discerning palates.
The Cave de l'Hospice de Salquenen is listed as the producer on the wine label. The wine is vinified by Adrian & Diego Mathier Nouveau Salquenen AG.
‘La Folie’ stands for winemaking at the highest level – born from carefully selected top vineyards that express the terroir in its purest form. Each bottle carries the history of its origins and reflects the soul of the region. Produced in limited quantities, this wine is the hallmark of the winery's creativity and an expression of its many years of expertise.
The Syrah produces a powerful, deep dark red wine with almost black reflections. When young, it is distinctive and tart on the palate. With increasing maturity, it develops a complex interplay of aromas – from floral notes such as violet and reseda to spicy nuances of pepper and subtle game aromas.
Strict yield restriction of 500–600 grams of grapes per square metre. The wine is aged for 30 months in new barriques.
The grapes come from 40-year-old vines in the best terraced location with calcareous soils from the Champs Marais in Conthey.
