Au nord de Carcassonne sur les coteaux de la Montagne Noire, nous trouvons une influence Aquitaine sur un pays Méditerranéen. Ce vin élégant de la Cité de Carcassonne, un monocépage Syrah, retient la richesse et la profondeur du Languedoc bien ensoleillé tout en ayant une fraicheur et un équilibre surprenants.
This is a rich, peppery Syrah full of warmth and spice. Leaving it in your mouth, you’ll feel pinpricks at the tip of your tongue. Reflecting the Mediterranean side of the Languedoc, the O’Syrah’s layers of deep fruit and its firm body can easily stand up against many of the warm Northern Rhone wines that we tend to focus on in the states.
This wine is a particular point of pride for my dad who created it despite the advice of our wine consultant who thought we were making a wine that was too “American”. One thing that we’re not ashamed of is to be creating wines that we like. New World wines from Old World vines.
