Avantis Syrah Collection is the "Icon" wine of Avantis Estate and it is considered as the "Grand-Cru" of the estate. It is an exceptionally rare red dry wine with a limited production of only 500 to 1,500 bottles annually. It is sourced from a single vineyard with extremely low yields for maximum concentration. It ages for 18 months in 100% new French oak barrels (225lt) and is bottled unfiltered and without any processing to preserve its authentic character.
Appearance: Intense, deep, and almost opaque black-purple color.
Aroma: An explosive and complex bouquet featuring dark fruits (blackberry, plum and dried fig), complex aromas (dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, leather, and sweet tobacco) and a hint of minerality with subtle notes of graphite.
Taste: Full-bodied with a robust structure. It features high-quality, velvety tannins, balanced acidity and an exceptionally long, multi-layered finish.
Aging Potential: This is a long-lived wine that can evolve in the bottle for 15 to 20 years.
This wine matches perfectly with rich red meat dishes (venison, wild boar, premium rib-eye steaks) and heavily aged cheeses. Its ideal serving temperature is considered 16°C - 18°C and it is highly recommended to decant for 1 to 2 hours before serving to allow the wine to breathe and to separate any natural sediment.
