Broken Earth produces a number of Rhone style blends and our estate Syrah block is a critical component of each of them. Typically, a parcel of Viognier fruit is “co-fermented”with Syrah to add both texture, fruit and assist with color stability. This ferment is normally around 12-15% Viognier but is diluted to less than 3% in the final Rhone blends.
However, the winemaker recognized a great opportunity as the ferment was being pressed to present something special to our Wine Club members. A small volume was retained and bottled separately.
The wine has a mass of ripe berry fruit with a hint of florals and a texture normally quite foreign to red wine. The 13% Viognier component has a dramatic effect on the wine’s structure. It is even worth-while closing your eyes as you drink it to get a better understanding of how different it its.
