Domaine de La Terre Rouge Wines DTR Ranch Fiddletown 2015 750 ML

DTR Ranch Syrah is made from grapes planted at our home ranch in 1999. Tis is the tenth single site bottling of Syrah from this vineyard. It is our coolest Syrah site and it is located on the steep slopes of the Fiddletown appellation. Most of these vines are grown without rootstock. We farm these slate, schist, and quartz-laden soils in a holistic and sustainable manner using just organic compost to amend the soil, owls to keep the rodents in check, in-row cultivation, organic sulphur as a fungicide, and lots of hand labor. As are all of our Syrah’s, the wine is made in a traditional artisan manner. Tis Syrah is a true reflection of the place the vines live. We picked early in 2015, on October 16th and 20th due to the ongoing drought. Tis advanced soil warming and bud break even at this cool site.
