Syrah - Maison Les Alexandrins 2017

When Syrah is blended with Viognier, you obtain a wine with more aromatic elegance and finesse. On the granite terroir of the Northern Rhône Valley, this blend gives freshness and body to the wine.

It is in its French birthplace, between the towns of Vienne and Valence, that Syrah fully expresses itself. For some people, Syrah originates from Shiraz in Iran and was brought back by the Crusades.

For others, Syrah appeared in the third century during the Roman Empire, at the time of Emperor Probus.

As for Viognier, the latest scientific research proved that it originates from the Norhtern Rhône Valley.

The vintage: After the historically dry and hot summer, the wines give an impression of opulence, concentration and generosity. Ageing will allow the wines to soften and slowly find their balance.

Aroma: This 2017 vintage is both fruity and ample, with aromas od red fruit (blackcurrant, strawberry, blackberry).

Palate: With a round and fresh attack on the palate. All in balance, the tannins are perfectly melted and offers a beautiful finish with notes of ripe fruit and spices.

Food pairing: This wine will match simple, convivial meals such as grilled meats, cheeses or even an exotic or spicy cuisine.

Service: This wine is to be drunk at a temperature of 16°C.
