Winemaker Notes

Bright and deep in color. Red fruit, black pepper, meat and spicy aromas. On the palate it is a full bodied with a meat and gently smoked leather aroma.

Professional Ratings

  • 89
    Again, showing marked aromas and very powerful aromatics, the 2012 Syrah Reserva had black olives, smoked bacon and violet aromas that jumped out of the glass. It turned more and more balsamic with air, developing aromas of eucalyptus and liniment, to the point that it could be overpowering. The palate is juicy with some grainy tannins, intense flavors and moderate acidity. Somehow all of these ultra-powerful aromatics made me hesitate... You might get tired of them pretty quickly...

Falernia, South America
Falernia  Winery Image

In 1951 Aldo Olivier Granola’s family moved to Chile and in 1971 he started planting grapevines for Pisco production. Around that time Aldo became convinced of the potential for producing superb wines in this semiarid valley. The Falernia project was born after he and his cousin Giorgio Flessati, famed Italian oenologist, joined forces. Falernia is an innovative venture given that it is Chile’s most northerly wine estate, a considerable distance from the country’s main winegrowing areas. The driving force has been a passion for the wine and the challenge of transforming a tract of desert into a green vineyard with enormous potential for producing premium wines. They use the latest technology and have the support of agronomists from Chile’s top universities and worldrenowned oenologists.

Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”

Part of the Coquimbo region, also with the Limari Valley, Elqui Valley is one of the northern wine producing regions of Chile, which historically focused on table grapes and pisco production. Intense sunlight and cooling effects of the ocean, together with rocky, clay soil make this one of Chile’s up-and-coming wine regions.
