With this Cru Saint-Joseph, Les Perrines, composed mainly of Syrah, Maison Sinnae has assembled a wine that is representative of the terroir that makes up the Saint-Joseph appellation. With a hot and dry climate in the summer, and temperate during the other seasons, and its poor soils allow Syrah to limit yields and thus express the full potential of complexity of this magnificent grape variety.

Terroir
The vines are mostly planted on steep slopes and the soil is composed of light shales and gneiss on a granitic base. The climate is hot and dry in summer, and temperate in other seasons. Syrah finds its perfect balance in this terroir, since the poor soils allow for limited yields, and thus the full potential for complexity of this magnificent grape variety.
Winemaking
The grapes are stripped, then crushed. Short cold maceration followed by alcoholic fermentation in concrete or stainless-steel vats at 26° to 28°C. Daily pumping over during this period, occasional delestages.
Ageing
After malolactic fermentation in vats, the wine is aged in century-old oak tuns for 6 to 12 months.
