About this product

100% Syrah grown at an altitude of 1100 meters above sea level! A Premium variety, it first became fashionable in Spain in the 90s and it was planted a lot, possibly because it adapts very well to all types of soils. It requires a lot of sun & high temperatures, it is also resistant to diseases, its skins are thick & purple with good acidity. The name for this wine range came with a play of words really. In Spain when you don’t see a friend for a long time they always say, “I have thousand things to tell you”. It’s a phrase that is used a lot so no better way to share these thousand things rather than over a bottle from this wine! Also the altitude of the vineyard is incidentally just over one thousand meters above sea level! Grapes are put in 6000 liters stainless steel vats to better extract the best quality of the grapes, colour & aromas. Cold maceration for 24 hours with a temperature control. Alcoholic fermentation is spontaneous (At Altolandon commercial yeast is never used to permit the original yeast develop and express in the wines, harnessing the maximum potential of the grapes) with gentle pumping over for 5 weeks. After alcoholic fermentation is finished, wine is presse
