Cuilleron Syrah “Signé”
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Cuilleron Syrah “Signé” is a cuvée resulting from a co-planting and co-fermentation of Syrah (red) and Viognier (white), two traditional regional grape varieties. The name actually comes from a combination of the words Syrah and Viognier.
- Grown on shallow granitic soils.
- Signé is too be enjoyed young around 3-4 years old.
- No insecticides with respect of soil and vine balance, few treatments (depending on weather and the necessity) and small amount of organic fertilizer.
Varietal Composition: 85% Syrah, 15% Viognier
Elaboration: Aged for 8 months in barrels.
Tasting Notes: The color is purplish and shiny. This expressive and tender wine offers a fruity and elegant nose with notes of sweet spices and flowers. The palate is harmonious with good length.
