'Ella' Syrah Reserva BIO 2022

'Ella' Syrah Reserva BIO 2022 displays a deep, almost black-red color. On the nose, the wine is intense, with aromas of fresh red fruit, violets, and fresh pepper. On the palate, the wine is fresh, tannic, and concentrated, with a firm structure that effectively brings out the spicy, peppery signature of the grape.

Ella is a cuvée from Viña Las Niñas, a winery in Apalta founded in 1996 by Bernard Dauré together with his friends Jean Pierre Cayard and Claude Florensa. The name Las Niñas ("the girls") is a tribute to the women of the three families, who were closely involved in the development of the winery. Since 2021, Las Niñas has operated as an independent wine company.

The vineyards are located in Apalta, in the Colchagua Valley, about a two-hour drive from Santiago. The horseshoe-shaped valley lies sheltered between hills at an altitude of approximately 600 meters and benefits from cool Pacific sea breezes, which extend the ripening period and preserve the acidity in the grapes. The 160-hectare vineyards are cultivated organically and include, in addition to Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, Merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc.
