Description: Villa Blanche Syrah is a powerful and expressive red wine from the Pays d’Oc IGP in southern France, made from 100% Syrah grapes grown on limestone-clay soils.
The grapes are fully destemmed and fermented with controlled temperatures around 28–32°C, followed by malolactic fermentation to soften acidity. The wine is aged about 6 months in a mix of concrete vats and oak barrels, which adds complexity without overpowering the fruit. It shows a deep, dark ruby color and offers intense aromas of blackberries, black pepper, smoked meat, and subtle floral notes like violet.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, with ripe dark fruit flavors, spicy peppery notes, smooth tannins, and a long, savory finish with hints of smoke and spice.
