Profile & Story
Syrocco was founded by the late, legendary Rhône vigneron Alain Graillot and is now run by his sons Maxime and Antoine. Alain discovered these Moroccan vineyards while cycling through the Zenata region between Casablanca and Rabat and partnered with the Thalvin winery to make the wine; the vineyards are farmed organically. It is 100% Syrah, crafted fruit-forward and juicy yet in an Old-World style with soft extraction, excellent balance and complex aromatics.
Tasting Notes
A fruit-forward yet Old-World Moroccan Syrah: ripe dark and red fruit with peppery spice, herbs and a fine, balanced structure.
Pairing Recommendation
Pairs with grilled lamb and beef, tagines and spiced Mediterranean dishes.
