Syrah, Cave des Amandiers - A. Deletraz - 2017

Provenance: Valais
Appellation: Valais
Domain: Alexandre Deletraz
Grape variety(ies): Syrah. Le cépage arrive pour la première fois en 1921 en Valais, mais il est planté de manière plus importante à partir de 1937. Il existe de grandes similitudes entre les Syrah des côtes-du-rhône françaises et les climats et terroirs valaisans. C’est dans sa limite septentrionale qu’elle donne les plus grands vins et la vallée du rhône valaisanne répond parfaitement à ces critères.
On-call time: 15 years
Alcohol degree: 13.5%

The nose is of the white pepper type, even nutmeg, but also sometimes, depending on the vintage, one finds notes of leather. The attack is supple and reminiscent of eucalyptus, then the palate evokes undergrowth, spices such as pepper and cloves, the long finish is silky.

Viticulture

The vines used to produce the "Syrah" cuvée are located partly in Fully, on gneiss bedrock, and partly in Leytron, on a more or less crumbled schist soil with a presence of clay between the layers. The vineyard benefits from a continental climate with Mediterranean tendencies, with optimal sunshine, especially during the vegetative period. The Foehn effect favours a healthy state of the bunches at harvest time. Maximum 40 hl/ha.
