Based in Costers del Segre in Catalonia, Castell d’Encus farms vineyards planted at high altitude on limestone soils. Thalarn Syrah is produced from estate parcels planted to Syrah that benefit from cool mountain nights and sunny days. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in French oak barrels, the wine develops both aromatic complexity and structure. The balanced 2016 vintage delivered concentration and freshness. Compared to Quest, Thalarn Syrah is more aromatic and spice-driven, combining blackberry, pepper and subtle floral notes with firm tannins and mineral finish. https://castelldencus.com/
