Papaioannou Syrah

Syrah – Papaioannou Estate | Organic, spicy and elegantly structured

The Syrah from Papaioannou Estate is a powerful but refined red wine from the Peloponnese, produced according to organic viticultural principles. It combines ripe dark fruit with spicy depth and an elegant structure — a Syrah with a clearly Mediterranean character and lovely balance.

Grapes & origin
100% Syrah from certified organic vineyards in the Nemea region. The warm climate, combined with altitude and limestone soils, gives concentrated grapes with aromatic intensity and fresh acidity.

Vinification
Traditional vinification with temperature-controlled fermentation and careful extraction. The wine then ages for around 12 months in French oak barrels, developing extra complexity, structure and soft tannins.

Tasting notes
Deep ruby red with purple reflections. On the nose aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, violets, black pepper and subtle oak notes. On the palate full and structured, with ripe tannins, fresh acidity and a long, spicy finish with notes of cocoa and spices.

Serving tips
Serve at 17–18 °C. Decanting recommended. Delicious with grilled red meat, lamb, stews, spicy dishes or matured cheeses. A wine with gastronomic versatility.

Cellaring
Very good — 6 to 8 years. Develops nicely in bottle and becomes rounder and more complex over time.
