A small portion of whole-bunch fermentation adds lift and aromatic complexity, while twelve months in large French oak foudres brings texture without blurring the wine’s edges.

Their Terroir Hunter range reflects years of research by head winemaker Rafael Urrejola into Chile’s most distinctive vineyard sites. This Syrah comes from a tiny 3.11-hectare plot in Leyda Valley, just eight miles from the Pacific, where granite soils, cool temperatures and dense Hermitage-style planting create wines of tension, mineral character and finesse. Certified by Sustainable Wines of Chile, Undurraga combines thoughtful vineyard work with minimal intervention in the cellar, allowing the vineyard to speak with clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54799768093057,"sku":null,"price":24.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/New-10.png?v=1780416287","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2022-syrah-th-undurraga","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
