Winemakers Notes

The first vintage of the much-awaited small-batch Syrah from the house of KRSMA Estates truly expresses the terroir of Hampi Hills, Karnataka.
Hand-crafted to perfection, the Syrah is velvety silkiness in a glass. With its dense yet restrained body, the elegant red-fruit driven bouquet of the wine subtly unveils under layers of dried rose petals and spice undertones from the oak. Lush and opulent flavors of ripe blackberries, dried black currant, and mocha on the palate, with a characteristic lingering black pepper spice note, balances well with the fine-grained tannins promising of a complex and an unforgettable finish.
