An ideal companion for dishes with red meat, especially grilled dishes and lamb. Perfectly paired with a rack of lamb served with crispy rösti and zucchini in a herb-cheese sauce.
The Syrah grape made its way in 1926 from the renowned Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage appellations along the Rhône Valley to Valais. Here, it thrives so well that the wines are on par with the best Syrahs worldwide. The label features the 3,934 m high Bietschhorn from Letschutelli, standing as prominently and beautifully as the Syrah Les Pyramides.
In the glass, it presents an intense color with cherry-red highlights. On the nose, it reveals aromas of black berries and white pepper with a beautiful aromatic intensity. The entry is fresh and vibrant, evolving on the palate to be rich and full-bodied. The long, fruity finish impresses with fresh and crisp tannins.
The initial fermentation is carried out at a controlled temperature to enhance the fruit aromas. The aging in stainless steel tanks aims to create a fruity, varietal wine. This method preserves its freshness, making it ready to drink immediately.
Cultivated in Salgesch and Sierre on vineyard terraces with calcareous moraine soils.
