Bodega Fernando Dupont, Sikuri 2022
DESCRIPTION
This wine comes from the Jujuy region in Argentina, which is located near the equator. The pronounced nose reveals the spicy, peppery character of Syrah. It is full of dark and ripe fruit, floral notes and a lovely freshness which ellicit powerful aromas and a long finish. The alcoholic richness is well supported by ripe tannins. Notes of liquorice and tobacco with a hint of game to finish.
REGION
Cafayate
Argentina
Cafayate is a wine region in northwestern Argentina, located in the Calchaqui Valley - one of the highest places in the world suitable for viticulture. The Calchaqui Valley surrounds Cafayate and has some of the most spectacular scenery in Argentina, changing quickly and dramatically from desert to mountains and subtropical climate. The terroir is particularly suited to the Torrontes Riojana grape, but wines made from Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon are also produced here.

This high-altitude Syrah is a great discovery — with notes of dark fruits and refreshing menthol. The tannins are fine and the finish spicy.
