Alain Graillot Description
Alain Graillot Thalvin Syrocco Syrah Zenata is a spectacular Moroccan red wine that showcases the very best of the region's terroir and winemaking techniques. Crafted from 100% Syrah grapes, this wine is made in an Old-World style that emphasizes balance, complexity, and elegance.
The grapes for this wine come from 25+ year old vines in the Zenata region of Morocco, situated between Casablanca and Rabat on the Atlantic coast. The cool micro-climate in this area is influenced by the cold winds off the Atlantic, which provide the perfect conditions for growing Syrah grapes. The sandy shale and gravel terroir also contribute to the wine's unique character and flavor profile.
This wine is made using organic practices, which means that the grapes are grown without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. The result is a wine that is not only delicious but also environmentally friendly.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with moderate extraction and excellent balance. The ripe fruit flavors are complemented by a touch of spice and a hint of minerality, which add complexity and depth to the wine.
This wine is aged in large older barrels, which allows it to develop a subtle oak influence without overpowering the fruit flavors. The result is a wine that is both sophisticated and approachable, making it the perfect choice for any occasion.
Alain Graillot Thalvin Syrocco Syrah Zenata is an exceptional wine that showcases the best of Moroccan winemaking. With its fruit-forward character, complex aromatics, and excellent balance, it is sure to impress even the most discerning wine enthusiasts.
Staff Rated: 90 Points
An intense nose of exotic spice & fresh game, however with time, the aromas develop into a perfume of delicate floral & dark berries. Around a core of supple, but powerfully textured tannins, the wine flows through an array of complex flavors. From lavender to blackcurrant, the concentrated flavors drift seamlessly into a balanced, long finish.
