Côtes du Rhône, La Syrah à Papa, Dom. du Monteillet - 2022

Appellation: Côtes du Rhône
Domain: Du Monteillet, S. Montez
Grape variety(ies): Syrah
On-call time: 5 years

This cuvée pays tribute to Stéphane Montez' father. It is vinified "à l'ancienne", i.e. partially in whole bunches, in order to enhance the fine and peppery character of the grape variety. The result is a wine with a ruby colour and purple tints. The nose of pepper, liquorice and black fruits is archetypal of what we like in the Rhone serine. It precedes a greedy and slippery mouth.

Technique

Viticulture

The vines for this pure Syrah come from a parcel of leased land opposite the estate on the other side of the Rhône on the left bank, with here a terrace of rolled Rhône pebbles which, heated by the sun, diffuse a gentle warmth at night, favoring grape concentration and ripeness; and a granitic parcel next to the estate.

Oenology

60% de-stemming. One-week pre-fermentation maceration, followed by 3-week maceration using the old immersed cap technique. Long, gradual fermentation without temperature control. Low-pressure pneumatic pressing to avoid bursting the pips. Aged 15 months in French oak demi-casks.
