Origin

The Meyer Highlands Syrah is produced in the highland regions known for their ideal climate and altitude that contribute to the grape's complexity and balance. The cooler temperatures and well-drained soils of the highlands provide a distinctive terroir that enhances the wine's character.

Variety

Syrah is a dark-skinned grape variety known for producing full-bodied red wines with deep color and rich flavors. It is prized for its peppery, spicy notes combined with dark fruit aromas.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve freshness and flavor. The winemaking process includes careful fermentation with temperature control to enhance the varietal characteristics. The wine is aged in oak barrels to develop complexity and smooth tannins before bottling.
