We have aged the Le Roi des Montagnes Syrah 2016 from Papargyriou Winery just for you! So make a bottle yours while you still can!
The King of the Mountains is here, and it certainly lives up to its crown. Yiannis Papargyriou has repeatedly proven his mastery in working with Syrah, pushing it to its limits. The late harvest gives this wine its distinctive qualities—an almost chewable, full-bodied texture, intense fruit concentration, and high alcohol content. Yet, it takes Papargyriou’s skillful handling to maintain elegance and balance amidst such power.
The French variety is cultivated and ripened at an altitude of 850m in Sofiana, Corinthia. By delaying the harvest at great risk, Papargyriou picks the grapes when they are overripe, achieving an astonishing concentration in the almost raisin-like fruit. The wine is then aged for 18 months in French oak barrels and further refined in the bottle.
Le Roi des Montagnes Syrah 2016 from Papargyriou Winery is the wine you’ll want to drink forever, never wanting it to end. But all good things come to an end quickly—so hurry!
