AbstractBlackberry, pepper, fine
Syrah from a left-bank Rhône plateau, fermented with native yeasts and matured in a wooden vat.
Winemaker
Sophie Eymin and Kévin Tichoux established their project around Seyssuel in the northern Rhône. Their small parcels include both slopes and plateau ground.
They farm organically and ferment with native yeasts. Cap Syrah comes from a plateau parcel on the river's left bank, with ageing in a wooden vat rather than a strong new-oak treatment.
Wine
Cap Syrah is fermented with native yeasts and given time in a wooden vat.
Blackberry and pepper, with a fresh, finely structured palate. The wine has Rhône Syrah's familiar dark-fruit character, while remaining open enough for the table.
Origin
The plot lies on the Rhône's left bank, on a plateau with rounded stones. Its position differs from the steep slopes of nearby appellations.
