✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Hop Barn Hill Syrah is sourced from a steep, south-facing estate vineyard in the Russian River Valley, named in homage to the historic hop kiln that stands on the Martinelli property—a relic from the era when hops, rather than wine grapes, dominated the local agricultural landscape. This dramatic topography ensures maximum sun exposure, allowing the Syrah grapes to achieve optimal ripeness while benefiting from the cooling evening fogs characteristic of the region. Crafted using traditional, minimalist methods including fermentation with wild yeasts and bottling without fining or filtration, this wine is celebrated for its signature power, deep concentration, and complex aromatic profile of dark bramble fruit, cracked black pepper, and savory smoked meat notes.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Martinelli Winery blev grundlagt i slutningen af 1880'erne af de italienske immigranter Giuseppe Martinelli og Luisa Vellutini og er i dag en berømmet familieejad vingård med dybe rødder i Californiens Russian River Valley og Sonoma Coast. Gennem mere end et århundrede har familien dyrket historiske, stejle skråninger – herunder de legendariske parceller Jackass Hill og Jackass Vineyard, som blev beplantet helt tilbage i 1887. Drevet af et kompromisløst fokus på eget markarbejde og nænsom vinfremstilling formår vinhuset at indfange Sonoma Countys unikke mikroklimaer og terroir. Martinelli nyder verdensomspændende anerkendelse for sine kraftfulde Zinfandels fra gamle vinstokke, udtryksfulde enkeltmarks-Pinot Noir, strukturerede Syrah-vine og fyldige, cremede Chardonnayer.
