About the Winery: Domaine Georges Vernay, located in the Northern Rhône, is renowned for its pioneering work with Viognier and its exceptional Syrah wines. Established in 1953, the winery has received numerous accolades for its commitment to quality and terroir-driven wines.

Syrah: The flagship red grape of the Northern Rhône, delivering notes of dark berries, violets, black olive, pepper, and smoked meat.

Appearance: Deep ruby with purple hues.

Aroma: Intense aromas of blackberries, violets, and a hint of black pepper.

Palate: Rich and complex with flavours of dark fruits, spice, and a touch of smokiness, balanced by silky tannins.

Body: Full-bodied with a refined structure.

Acidity: Medium-high acidity that enhances the wine's freshness and longevity.

Cellaring Potential: Best enjoyed from 2026 to 2040, with potential for further aging.

Perfect Pairing: Grilled lamb chops with rosemary, duck confit, or aged cheeses.

Serving Temperature: 16-18°C
