More about the wine

This Syrah is one of my all-time favourites from Chile — a wild ferment, artisanal wine which shows complex and intriguing aromas of smoked jerky, fine leather and crème brûlée. This is a meaty and wild Syrah, with the slow maturation and intensity you can achieve on the coast. The freshness on the finish brings it all together for a spicy finale that lingers for moments on the lips.

Matetic winery is at the forefront of the biodynamic wine scene in South America, as an inspiring leader with 140 hectares of vines over four estates. The sweeping vineyards straddle San Antonio and Casablanca and are between 13 and 19 km from the Pacific Ocean with a maritime climate. This combination of the cool coastal climate and weathered red and grey granite soils are expressed through the excellent portfolio of Matetic’s wines — all focused on freshness, tension and purity of place.
