The Starting Point Syrah 2019
From The Starting Point in China’s Ningxia, the Syrah 2019 is a refined 100% Syrah from old vineyards on sandy soils. Fermented with natural yeasts in stainless steel and aged in French oak barrels, it employs organic practices, offering a deep purple hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A bold, earthy red with rich fruit, showcasing Ningxia’s terroir.
The nose reveals dark berry, forest floor, and herbs, with hints of bacon jam and spice. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and smooth, with firm tannins, balanced acidity, and flavors of blackberry, vanilla, and a long, spicy finish.
Food Pairings
Pair this red with Western dishes like grilled steak or lamb chops to highlight its bold fruit and tannins. For Chinese cuisine, try 紅燒牛腩, 烤鴨, 蒜蓉炒牛肉, 黑椒牛柳, 燉羊肉, or 香辣雞丁 to complement its rich texture and savory notes. Ideal for hearty dinners or gatherings.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve at 16°C with one hour of decanting to enhance aromas. Enjoy now or cellar until 2029 for added complexity, developing deeper spice and earth notes. Explore our Ningxia collection for more Syrah classics.
