The Mordrelle Single Clone 1654 Syrah 2014 is an exceptional single-vineyard Syrah from Mendoza, Argentina. Crafted with care by Mordrelle, this small-batch wine reflects the meticulous approach to winemaking, showcasing the unique characteristics of the 1654 clone of Syrah. The 2014 vintage, with several years of aging, has allowed the wine to develop complexity and finesse, highlighting the best of Mendoza’s terroir and the depth of this clone.

Appearance: Deep garnet with a slight ruby hue, showing both its maturity and vibrant core.

Aroma: The nose is complex and expressive, with aromas of ripe blackberries, blackcurrant, and dark plums. These are layered with spicy notes of black pepper, cloves, and subtle hints of smoked meat, characteristic of well-made Syrah. Underlying earthy tones of leather, tobacco, and a touch of liquorice add depth, while a soft floral note of violet enhances the wine’s aromatic complexity.

Taste: On the palate, this Syrah is full-bodied with well-integrated tannins, offering a smooth, velvety texture. Flavours of ripe dark fruits like blackberry and plum are balanced by savoury notes of black olives, cracked pepper, and a hint of smokiness. The oak aging has contributed to the wine’s structure, imparting soft touches of vanilla, dark chocolate, and a gentle spiciness without overwhelming the fruit. The wine’s natural acidity keeps it fresh and lively, even with its robust character.

Finish: The finish is long and elegant, with lingering notes of dark fruit, spice, and a subtle earthy minerality, leaving a refined and harmonious aftertaste.

Food pairing: This Syrah pairs wonderfully with grilled meats such as lamb, beef, or game, as well as smoky barbecue dishes. It also complements rich stews, roasted vegetables, and hard cheeses like aged Gouda or Manchego. Its bold flavours and balanced structure make it ideal for hearty meals or special occasions, offering a great combination of power and elegance.
