Loop de Loop 'Birdsong' Syrah 2021 (red)
Just 25 miles east of our vineyard is a much warmer and drier climate. We love the Gorge for its dynamic diversity which allows us to work with a diverse amount of varietals.
This syrah was fermented with wild yeasts, 50% whole cluster. It received pigéage daily, twice daily during peak fermentation. Minimal intervention in the cellar, we did not add sulfur until after malolactic fermentation was complete. It rested on the lees in 2 burgundy barrels for 10 months before hand-bottling unfined and unfiltered in our cellar. Less than 20 ppm so2 and nothing else added.
Violets, Provençal herbs and cracked pepper on the nose, the palate is full and explosive with supple dark fruit & ripe black currant leading way to white pepper & prosciutto with a dusty long finish. — Loop de Loop
