Intensity
An Australian Shiraz with aromas of liquorice and black fruits with notes of pepper. A lovely accompaniment to grilled red meat and game.
More infoThe grapes are harvested by hand. The grapes are then destemmed and vinified in concrete vats with indigenous yeasts. The wine is pumped over gently for extraction, followed by several weeks of maceration to impart tannic structure. A lovely expression of Syrah with aromas of black fruits and spices. The palate is generous and flavourful with notes of cocoa. The tannins are pleasant and integrated even in youth.
About the Producer Chapoutier
Maison Chapoutier is without doubt one of the most prestigious names in the Rhône producing some of the finest Hermitage. The domain converted its 300 hectares of vines to biodynamic viticulture, making it the largest vineyard to adopt this method of cultivation. It has held certification since 1999. Chapoutier is often one of the last estates to harvest its grapes so that they are at optimal ripeness.The Chapoutier savoir faire has spread to other vineyards in other winemaking regions: Provence, Beaujolais, Roussillon, Champagne, Alsace, Portugal but also South Australia.
This family's winemaking journey started way back in 1806 but 1879 was a turning point when Polydor Chapoutier bought a few hectares of vines and started a negociant business. Seven generations have succeeded him, and Michel Chapoutier is currently at the helm, supported by his children Mathilde and Maxime. Together, they continue the family's story, all while highlighting Rhône's great terroirs.
