GrapesShiraz/Syrah
Wine Description:
Elegant and exceptionally refined, their Syrah is named after the brilliant and magnificent Héloïse d'Argenteuil. It embodies her balance, concentration, restraint, and supple, mature texture. This delicate Syrah harmoniously combines with their old, fragrant Grenache vines and pairs beautifully with the floral notes of high-altitude white varieties like Viognier or Roussanne, connecting Héloïse to her cousins from the Northern Rhône Valley. These wines are produced to pay homage to Abélard and Héloïse because their own convictions mirror the undeniable commitment this couple had to each other.
