š· Desierto25 Syrah Red Wine 2019 comes from Bodega del Desierto in La Pampa, at the northern edge of Argentine Patagonia. The estate's vineyard grows in a dry, open landscape where sunny days and cool nights shape a generous, expressive red. Made from Syrah, this vintage brings together ripe fruit, savoury spice and the polish of oak ageing.
š In the glass, expect a ruby hue and aromas of raspberry, dark berries, clove and black pepper. Its fruit-forward palate is supported by a gentle touch of vanilla from nine months in French and American oak barrels. The wine has an ample, balanced feel and a satisfying spicy finish. These tasting notes describe the producer's style; each bottle may show its own nuances with temperature and time in the glass.
šŖµ Desierto25 Syrah Red Wine is an inviting choice for a meal built around roasted or grilled meat, well-seasoned dishes and semi-hard cheeses. Pour it at around 16ā18Ā°C. A few minutes in the glass will let the fruit and spice open up, making it easy to share at a dinner table or enjoy with a slow weekend meal.
This dry Argentine red carries the character of its Patagonian setting through ripe fruit, spice and a balanced oak influence. It has enough flavour for hearty food while remaining approachable at a relaxed dinner.
