Domain Skouras Synoro 2019 PGI Peloponnese Red Wine - Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Agiorgitiko Blend 750ml | French Oak-Aged, High-Altitude Argolida Vineyards

1 review(s) | Add your review
A distinguished red blend from Argolida's high-altitude vineyards, combining Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Agiorgitiko aged 13 months in French oak.
SKU: EL2072

Domain Skouras Synoro 2019 captures the essence of Peloponnese winemaking through a sophisticated blend of international and indigenous varieties. Sourced from rocky clay vineyards at 650 meters altitude in Argolida, this PGI Peloponnese wine showcases the harmonious marriage of 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Merlot, and 20% Agiorgitiko from mature vines averaging 24-29 years old.

Each component undergoes meticulous extraction in stainless steel vats, followed by full malolactic fermentation and 13 months of maturation in French oak barriques—half of which are new—before an additional 6 months of bottle aging in the estate cellar.

Tasting Profile and Winemaking Excellence

  • Deep ruby color with vibrant ruby highlights reflects optimal ripeness and careful extraction
  • Aromatic profile layers red cherry, morello cherry, and ripe strawberry with crème de cacao, cinnamon, and cedar notes
  • Full-bodied palate delivers rich extract, balanced 14% alcohol, and accentuated acidity complemented by ripe, dense tannins
  • Cabernet Franc contributes fresh vegetal character and structural complexity to the blend
  • Extended maceration periods—14 to 17 days per variety—ensure optimal flavor extraction and tannic integration
  • Maturation on light lees for 4 months adds textural depth and aromatic complexity
  • Controlled yields of 33.60-45 hl/ha from hand-harvested fruit guarantee concentration and quality

Vineyard Origin and Technical Details

The vineyards sit at 1,968 feet elevation in Argolida, where rocky clay soils provide natural drainage and concentrate flavors in the fruit. Harvest occurs in carefully timed stages: Merlot in early September, Cabernet Franc mid-month, and Agiorgitiko at month's end to capture optimal phenolic ripeness in each variety.

Alcoholic fermentation proceeds at controlled 23°C in stainless steel, followed by post-fermentation extraction at 20°C. Total maceration times vary by variety—Agiorgitiko 14 days, Cabernet Franc 15 days, Merlot 17 days—to extract varietal character while maintaining balance. The wine completes full malolactic fermentation in French oak, developing complexity during 13 months of barrel aging with 50% new oak influence.

Technical specifications include 14% alcohol by volume, 6.45 g/l total acidity (as tartaric), and pH 3.5, creating a wine with structure, longevity, and food-pairing versatility. The aftertaste delivers duration, volume, and layered complexity that rewards contemplative tasting.
