Tasting Notes

Deep violet in color, this elegant coastal Syrah shows classic varietal character with aromas of black pepper, wet earth, spice, cocoa, and subtle violet. The palate is layered and refined, offering rich black fruit, savory minerality, and smooth, structured tannins with impressive depth and balance. Pairs beautifully with grilled steak, lamb, barbecue, aged cheeses, mushroom risotto, grilled portobello mushrooms, and roasted vegetables.

Vineyards

Made with Organic Grapes. Sourced from select vineyard blocks in Chile’s Rosario Valley, Matetic Syrah reflects the region’s diverse granite and loamy soils, ideal for producing wines with depth, structure, and consistency. Biodynamic farming practices, including cover crops, composting, and dry farming, encourage deep root development and naturally balanced vines. Made from 100%Syrah Clone 470, the wine is known for its rich texture, structure, and palate weight.

Winemaking

Hand-harvested grapes were carefully sorted, cold macerated for 10 days, and fermented with native yeasts. Half of the fruit was fermented whole cluster to enhance texture and complexity, while gentle punch-downs and pump-overs ensured elegant extraction of color and flavor. The wine was aged 22 months in French oak, bottled unfiltered, then cellared for an additional 4 years before release.

Accolades

This is the winery's top Syrah and hails from the San Antonio Valley near the Pacific Ocean. After 22 months of aging in oak barrels, the wine offers aromas of nutmeg and clove. It's silky with intense flavors of chocolate, clove and ripe blackberries. Lively acidity and subtle herbs balance the palate.
The eponymous 2017 Syrah was cropped from an unusual year and felt a bit closed at first and needed time to slowly open up the glass. The palate reveals a lot of tannins, which is quite unusual for this wine. It finishes with marked bitterness. A bit of a question mark.
Blackcurrants and blueberries with asphalt and earthy undertones. It's full-bodied with dusty tannins. Fleshy and round on the palate. Salty and slightly smoky on the finish. Shows a lot of wood right now. But already enjoyable. Drink or hold.
