Maison Advinam

Maison Advinam Donna Bordeaux, France 2019 Syrah

Wine of the week chosen as it is an unusual Bordeaux. Bordeaux is typically made of a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. This iteration features a single grape varietal, putting the spotlight on Syrah. Biodynamically farmed, hand harvested and produced in Graves (known for its intensely gravelly soil), it is resolutely a Bordeaux but with a difference.

As is typical of Syrah it is full bodied, juicy, slightly meaty with a touch of spice.

Serious notes of blackberry jam, chocolate, eucalyptus, menthol, forest fruits, tobacco leaf, allspice, baked red fruits and bacon. Deep ruby purple but with garnet hues from 12 months in French oak.

A dry but supremely juicy, weighty red with great acidity.

Tasting notes: blackberry, baked red fruit, eucalyptus, forest fruit, tobacco leaf, allspice, bacon, star anise

Pairing: game, chocolate, fattier fish and meat

Similar to: wines from the Rhone region, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
