This handcrafted Syrah was whole-berry fermented in small bins for approximately 12 days, followed by 5 days of extended maceration to optimize phenolic and flavor extraction. Aged for 18 months in Tonnellerie Plantagenet barrels featuring Burgundian-style toasts on staves sourced from all five French oak forest regions.
