Syrah
Espaldera continues to prove themselves as the masters of the vine. Our Syrah is concentrated, savory, and true to its old-vine styling with dense dark berry notes and enticing earthiness. These grapes come from 30-year-old vines grown at 2,700 feet in elevation.

With a delectable balance of fruit and umami flavors, this Syrah is worthy of a special occasion. Fresh earth scents join savory bacon fat aromas, a dense palate with firm tannins and gentle acidity. Ripe mulberry flavors and balsamic glaze accompany a rich mouthfeel and lasting finish.

Espaldera
Espaldera wines reflect an appreciation for the land and an abiding dedication to the vineyard. Great wine begins with the vine. Spanish winemakers call upon decades of viticultural knowledge handed down through winemaking history as they train each tendril and nurture each varietal on its journey. As winemakers adopt new techniques and adapt to modern technology, their hands are guided by the hearts and minds of those who came before them.
