Alta Tierra Syrah Gran Reserva 2017

Valle de Elqui

4.0 / 5 (1 reviews)

Viña Falernia is a first-class winery in Chile’s high Elqui Valley. It put the region on the map in 2005 by winning a Trophy for its inaugural Syrah. The beautifully smooth, rich 2017 Gran Reserva is a must for any fan of serious, oak-aged Syrah.

Get set to try one of Chile’s top Syrahs: Alta Tierra Gran Reserva. It won a Trophy for its first release, and has been awarded another two Trophies and three Golds since. It’s from the Elqui Valley, an extraordinarily high region next to the Atacama Desert. Thanks to the wonders of irrigation, flourishing green vineyards stand out in stark contrast to their moonscape surroundings. The award-winning Viña Falernia was set up by Italians Aldo Olivier Gramola and Giorgio Flessati in 1995 and is one of only two wineries here. Today they have extensive vineyards and a cellar packed with state-of-the-art equipment. With impressive richness, great complexity and finesse, this is a wine to decant and serve with roast lamb on a special occasion.
