2018 Pajarito Gran Reserva Syrah

Explore the flavorful stylings of 2018 Pajarito Gran Reserva Syrah, an elegant red from the heart of one of Chile’s oldest wine regions, Maule Valley. Glistening ruby red in the glass, this wine opens with aromas of ripe red fruits complemented with delicate violet and herbal hints. It displays fresh fruit flavor with pleasant spice and floral nuances throughout. With ripe tannins, this full-bodied Syrah has a persistent, satisfying finish. Maule Valley has diverse terroir and a Mediterranean climate, with cool ocean breezes tempering warm, sunny days. A long growing season allows grapes to ripen slowly, leading to wines with concentrated flavor. This Syrah was crafted by Cremaschi Furlotti, a 5th-generation family winery. Known for crafting distinctive and elegant wines, Cremaschi Furlotti is also committed to sustainability and protecting the environment; it was one of the first wineries to be accredited with the Wines of Chile Sustainable Certification. Best served at a slight chill, Pajarito is enjoyable on its own or paired to flavorful dishes. Suggested pairings include roasted leg of lamb, hearty pasta dishes, beef stews, and fine cheeses.
