Selene Syrah
Viticulture and Vinification
Syrah is made from grapes which are part of the yield control strategy adopted in the vineyard. Syrah vines have a tendency to overcrop which can lead to thin wines if not controlled. At Cramele Recas, this is done by removing a portion of the grapes soon after flowering, before the vine has started to swell them into grapes. Thereafter the emphasis is on fully ripening of the remaining grapes to ensure generous flavor and deep color. The in-winery handling of Syrah is basic and relies on simple processes to preserve the grape flavor and keep the wines open and agreeable. 1 year aged wine in barique and unfiltered with a potential of aging in bottles minimum 10 years.Tasting notes

Sole - Sauvignon Blanc
Viticulture and Vinification
Sole Sauvignon Blanc is made from grapes at the ripe end of the spectrum. Fruit selection and winemaking are aimed at achieving a fuller style of Sauvignon Blanc with notes of complexity. Oak is not a part of this wine, which relies on grape quality rather than interventionist winemaking. Some on-skins cold maceration of the crushed grapes is carried out because much of the flavour of this grape is located in the skin. The added intensity translates from the juice into the finished wine.Tasting notes
Pale yellow, slightly metallic, with green tints. Grassy (hay and woodbine), flowery (black locust, sambucus) and slightly citric aromas. Round, lively, balanced, fresh acidity and taste impact.We recommend this wine with:
Fresh cheeses, Salade nicoise, oven dishes of turkey, chicken, francolin, river fish (trout, pike) and fruit desserts (peaches, apricots)Serving temperature: 6°C - 8/10°C
