    2020 Alain Graillot Crozes-Hermitage Rouge (Rhone Valley, FR) 5R

    Crafted by the late, great Northern Rhone winemaker Alain Graillot, this stunning expression of Syrah is made from organic grapes and shows remarkable complexity. Aromas of earth, smoke, and bacon fat are backed up by blackberry; on the palate, this dark fruit is accentuated by raspberry, olive, and black pepper. If you’ve never had cool-climate Syrah, this is an amazing place to start!

    About The Varietal

    Syrah

    Shiraz and Syrah are interchangeable names for the same dark-skinned grape variety when viewed in terms of DNA. Originating in the Rhône Valley, this grape dominates plantings in the northern section of the valley. The name Shiraz is commonly used in Australia and certain regions of the New World, particularly those with warmer climates. The stylistic differences between Shiraz and Syrah wines are often distinct, contributing to the enduring dual identities of this grape variety.

    About The Producer

    Alain Graillot

    Few Northern Rhone wine world names are as respected as Alain Graillot. In 1985, the late legendary Alain Graillot returned to his roots in Crozes-Hermitage after collaborating with Jacques Seysses at Domaine Dujac to establish his winery. Alain's commitment was present in every bottle he touched, creating captivatingly delicious Syrah in his organically cultivated, stony vineyards. Since 2008, Alain's sons Maxim and Antoine have taken the reins, carrying on the legacy established by their father. We believe many things at The Urban Grape; one is that everything the Graillot family touches is gold!
