Vylyan Syrah 2020, Villány

Vince panel review:
“Dark ruby colour. Mediterranean mood, intense nose with spicy barrel notes and dried fruits. Complex, powerful, full bodied wine with chalky tannins, great acidity, silky texture and exciting flavours: red berry fruits, subtle barrel spices, vanilla and chocolate. Lovely long finish.”

Mónika Debreczeni, founder of the estate about the variety:
“I love Syrah, spicy, exotic, exciting and easy to fall in love with. It may tend to get reductive, but we can forgive that and we have to let them breathe before drinking. Syrah is a good answer to the warming climate.”
