Thomas Dam Cornas Chaban 2019

Thomas Dam Cornas Chaban 2019 is a Syrah from Cornas in the Rhône Valley, made from 100% Syrah grown on high-altitude vineyards with granite and limestone soils. The grapes are hand-harvested and slowly fermented, and the wine is aged in old oak barrels. It shows dark berries, spicy and smoky notes, pepper and liquorice on the nose, with an intense palate of full tannins, dark spices and a subtle smoky character. The finish is long, with mineral freshness. Thomas Dam practises minimal intervention in both vineyard and cellar, aiming to express the terroir authentically.
