Tematico Syrah 2009

This packs a mighty punch given its humble price tag; it’s rammed full of dark, concentrated damson and cherry-style fruit, a really good value Syrah the likes of which you’ll struggle to beat from anywhere else in South America. We were looking for wines that can cut the mustard in the ‘everyday’ stakes, and Mauricio Lorca’s new Tematico range fits the bill perfectly. The fruit is from his beloved Vista Flores vineyards in the Uco Valley and the unoaked modernity shines through like a beacon.

"Sweet damson juice. Perfectly well made"
