Dona Paula Malbec Syrah 2015

Dona Paula Estate Malbec Syrah has an intense violet-blue colour. On the nose it shows the particular plum character that comes from the Malbec and impressive spice notes, white pepper and red fruits from the Syrah. It is sweet and has a pleasant mouth feel with fresh fruit acidity. Dona Paula have excelled themselves with this delightful Estate Malbec Syrah blend. This is a bog, bold red wine which is like the heavy weigh boxer that you once knew. It's not supposed to be subtle, it's in your face with the masses of textures, flavours and mouth feel. This rich red wine must be served with red meats or rich dishes as it could overpower lesser food.

Carefully and gentle desteming with partial berry crushing to provide fresh berry aromas. Cool pre-fermentation maceration for 2 weeks to extract primary aromas, flavors and intense color under non-alcoholic phase. First part of the fermentation takes place under wild yeast culture and is finished inoculating selected yeast. Fermented at 25C, keeping the freshness the wine is after racked to new, second and third use French barrels (33% of each one) where the wine is aged during 8 months before being bottled.
