Bilancia La Collina Syrah 2005
The 2005 season was slightly warmer than average and as a result harvest was slightly earlier. The Syrah fruit was harvested in two phases during early April and on both of these occasions a small percentage of Viognier was harvested in order to include the white fruit in the red ferment. The Viognier free run juice was pressed off separately for the varietal white wine and the remaining skins only were included in the ferment. The Viognier component is approximately 2%.
Bilancia La Collina Syrah 2008
The 2008 Syrah was in barrel for 22 months; 90% new French Burgundy barrels. The wine was regularly and carefully racked and very gently aerated during aging. The winemaking philosophy is to preserve the very distinct vineyard character and fruit purity along with support from new but low impact French oak.
