NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Donelan Cuvée Christine Syrah is a remarkable wine that showcases the elegance and complexity of the Syrah grape.On the nose, Donelan Cuvée Christine Syrah offers enticing aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plums, accompanied by hints of black pepper, smoked meat, and dried herbs. These aromas intertwine harmoniously, creating a captivating bouquet that invites you to explore further.
The palate is equally impressive, with a rich and velvety texture that coats the mouth. Flavors of blackberry jam, blueberries, and black currants take center stage, supported by layers of savory notes such as bacon fat, black olives, and roasted herbs. The wine's well-integrated tannins provide structure and balance, while the vibrant acidity adds freshness and lift to the overall profile.
Pair this exquisite Syrah with grilled lamb chops, braised short ribs, or a hearty mushroom risotto for a truly memorable dining experience.
