Tasting Notes for Fallstaff by Romana Echensperger, Master of Wine
Our 2023 Syrah was praised by the experts at Falstaff . The expertise and rigor of the tasting committee lend considerable weight to this assessment.
"Ein zugänglicher Syrah mit zurückhaltenden Aromen. Reife Heidelbeeren, Sauerkirsche, etwas weißer Pfeffer, Veilchen und ein Hauch Kräuterwürze. Am Gaumen saftig, mit körnigem Tannin und animierender Frische. Dezent würzig, klar in der Frucht, mit schlankem Körper und Mittellangem Abgang. Ein süffiger Syrah, ideal für unkomplizierten Genuss und nicht zu schwere Gerichte."
