Syrah
Its origin is still uncertain. In France it is the base for the Cáte du Rhíne wines and is also part of the blend for the famous Cháteauneuf-du-Pape. It is possibly the most renowned French wine grape after the Bordeaux and Burgundy varieties. In Argentina, several wineries process it to obtain a varietal wine with very satisfactory results. It has adapted well to areas of heavy sun exposure, like Tulum Valley, in San Juan, and Eastern Mendoza. It offers intense colors, a full texture and aromas that range between floral to spicy animal, after aging.
