Mayu, Titon Vineyard Syrah Gran Reserva, Elqui Valley, Chile 2018

The Titon Vineyard in Chile's Elqui Valley sits at 350m altitude, is planted on rocky soils with decomposed granite, and enjoys foggy mornings for much of the year, helping to preserve freshness and aromatics in the grapes. Made by Italian winemaker Giorgio Flessati, this is very much Syrah rather than Shiraz, northern Rhône-like in style, with dark plummy fruit, ome savoury meatiness and subtle spice from 8-10 months in French oak. This vintage scored 95 points at the 2022 Decanter World Wine Awards, and no wonder – it's benchmark good-value, cool-climate New World Syrah. Mix-six price: £12.99. Vegan.
