The project was born from a conviction: to rescue ancient winemaking techniques and express, without technological shortcuts, the singular character of small grower sites across Mendoza. The Syrah comes from a single high-density vineyard in Los Chacayes, planted in 2012 at 1,100 meters above sea level on the old alluvial riverbed of the Arroyo Grande — rocky, calcareous soils threaded with large river stones that stress the vines and concentrate the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe winemaking is as hands-on as it gets: hand harvested, 50% whole-cluster inclusion, native yeast fermentation over 28 days in French oak, then 12 months aging in 225-liter French oak barriques followed by eight months of bottle rest. The result is a Syrah with a distinctly Rhône-inflected personality — fresh, spiced, and savory rather than jammy or extracted. The nose opens with plum, cassis, white pepper, black olive, and a subtle smokiness. The palate is broad and juicy, with blueberry, lavender, and rose petals on a velvety mid-palate, framed by fine, present tannins and a long, energetic finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis is high-altitude Mendoza Syrah with a cooler, more European soul — and one of the more exciting things happening in the Uco Valley right now.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Cayetana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45813732245690,"sku":"103970","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0724\/6836\/5498\/files\/LaCayetanaSyrahBottle.jpg?v=1777484736","url":"https:\/\/bassins.com\/products\/2022-la-cayetana-syrah-los-chacayes-750ml","provider":"MacArthur Beverages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
