Syrah
Syrah
(or Serine) is supposed to have been brought in the south of
France from the region of Syracuse by the Roman.
The vine-variety is the principal grape in the north of the
Rhône Valley. Syrah appreciates poor
soil and hot climate.
The Syrah wine is strong, rich and colored with aromas
of pepper, violet or raspberry, depending up on the soil.
We owe to Syrah the big Côtes du
Rhône such as Côte Rotie or Hermitage and also
Languedoc-Roussillon wines.
Syrah perfectly acclimated itself in California, Australia
and South Africa.
