From a shaded plot of Syrah, the grapes ripen more slowly, resulting in a dry red with a little lower alcohol. Young and fresh, the grapes were picked at night to preserve aroma. Fermented in stainless steel, this was bottled without aging. Pair this light-bodied pale red with a spread of conservas and olives.

Staff Pick Notes

So this is a fun and intriguing wine that threads a difficult needle: vivid, ripe flavors with quite low alcohol and none of the compromises often encountered in a low-ABV red.

Didactically, for us wine nerds who, it also provides a good example of how alcohol content is integral to the perception of a wine’s body and how it invigorates certain aromatics and flavor compounds. This is apparent if you’ve had alcohol-removed wine made from good quality grapes. Here it’s not the disappointment of some

More About This Wine

Spain

Central to the Spanish winemaking philosophy is the belief that wine should be released only when it is ready to be consumed, and not a moment before. Spanish wine law focuses squarely on this issue: the terms Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva are highly regulated indicators of the amount of time a wine has aged prior to its release. In Rioja, Navarra, and the Ribera del Duero (which have the most stringent requirements) red Crianzas must be aged a minimum of two years; Reservas, at least three...

Syrah

We'd like to clear this up once and for all: the Shiraz grape is genetically identical to Syrah. Australian winemakers put "Shiraz" on the map (and, many would argue, vice versa), and the term is now used throughout much of the New World. Let it never be said, however, that Shiraz and Syrah are the same thing: the region in which the grape is grown determines much about the flavor of the wine it will produce. Typically, New World Shiraz yields bigger, fruitier wines than the the peppery Syrahs...
