NINQUEN Antu Ninquén Syrah, MontGras 2008 Grape Variety: 100% Syrah Food Matching Note: Pair with rich dishes such as pan fried lamb cutlets with a cranberry & port reduction, braised beef fillets with a syrah sauce or a selection of mature cheese. Tasting Note: Deep, brooding, inky purple in colour with a developed, aromatic nose dominated by ripe black fruits and smoky oak. The palate is full bodied and concentrated, dripping with spicy blackberry fruit and a fair wedge of toasty vanilla oak, finishing soft, supple and rounded. Vinification Note: Ninquén (nin-ken) means “plateau on a mountain”, the name given to this first and unique Mountain Estate in Chile. Antu means "Sun of" and is the name given to this exciting mono-varietal range of new wines which offer the pure expression of the grape coupled with the terroir of the Ninquén estate. The fruit is carefully selected and handpicked exclusively from the Ninquén Mountain, located in the heart of the Colchagua Valley before an extended maceration period during fermentation and aging in barrique.
