0,75 2009er Casa LAPOSTOLLE Cuvèe ALEXANDRE Syrah Cachapoal Val.

Color: Intense and dark, inky purple with deep purple shades.

Nose: Powerful, rich aromas of jammy red and black fruits & berries. Meaty qualities of bacon fat balanced against spice & floral qualities towards the end with framing notes of nutmeg and vanilla from the well integrated oak. Overall, very complex and attractive. Mouth: Concentrated and very well balanced with soft, velvety tannins lingering in the mouth. Very rich mid palate and a long finish. Food Pairing and Service: Goes very well with rich red meat such as lamb, beef and wild boar. Serve at 16C. he winter 2003 was dry in Chile, with only 320 mm of rain in Requinoa (vs. an average rainfall of 500 mm). These dry conditions resulted in budding around 10 days earlier than usual. Springtime temperatures were normal for the region. Summer started warmly with average temperatures above 20C and maximums reaching 32-34C. No rain registered in Summer al all. The precocity of the year observed in the early stages slowly decreased with only a few days differences at the veraison in some parcels, but harvests were nonetheless carried out between one and two weeks earlier that the previous year. This, our third crop of Syrah, confirmed the high potential for this variety in our Las Kuras vineyards. Controlled to only 6 bunches per plant harvest was a low 4.000 kilos/ha (28hl/ha). This permits a wine of incredible concentration and balance. Hand-harvested in small baskets of 12 kilos the 7th and 8th of April, with bunch and berry selection by hand at long sorting tables.
