1818 Classic Shiraz/syrah
Chilean Syrah, stainless steel, ten ninety eight, no fuss.
The story behind 1818 Classic
1818 Classic Syrah comes out of Chile's Central Valley, made by Bodegas de Aguirre, a family owned winery whose estate ground has grown grapes for over 450 years. The vines behind this bottling run about 27 years old. The name is a heritage label, not a facility cornerstone.
Fermentation happens entirely in stainless steel, so the fruit stays primary and the wood stays out of the way. That is the whole point of this bottle: deep color, fresh varietal character, ready to drink young. We have poured Chilean reds like this for decades because they overdeliver at the price.
