Think bright cherry and red berries up front, then a swirl of smoky stalks, forest floor and something herbal and wild in the background. It’s juicy, light on its feet, and drinks like a dream with a little chill on it.There’s complexity here, sure - but mostly it’s just really fun to drink. Like your favourite vintage jumper: colourful, soft, and somehow pulling everything together in the most unexpected way.
Nova Syrová is a mash-up of parcels that don’t usually belong together - but somehow, they just click. Whole bunch carbonic Syrah and Garnatxa (Grenache) were pressed off early and finished fermenting in old barriques. Whole bunch Pinot Noir stayed on skins to kick off wild ferment before being pressed off. Then we tossed in a splash of Monastrell and Schwarzriesling for good measure.
“Super just pushes itself in front of nova. There’s lightness to this Syrova, it’s driven by sour-edged red fruit, green olive crunch, potpourri, bitter herbs, flint and wet leaves. This is a wine on a par with Pinot Noir. Ah! But there’s more to it. Depth, character. Light, sour, savoury, fragrant red. Not far from the Amaro family either. Fantastic combo of flavours in a lovely idiosyncratic expression. Super Nova Syrova.” 93 Points. Kasia Sobiesiak, The Winefront
