Xiban, ‘Happy Forever’ Syrah 2019

£32.00

The 2019 Happy Forever Syrah from Qingtongxia, Helan Mountain East, shines with a deep ruby color. Its bouquet unfolds with fresh red plum and blackberry, gradually giving way to subtle notes of toasted oak and sweet spice from 18 months in 50% new French and American barrels. On the palate, the wine is rounded and silky, with velvety tannins and lively acidity (6.2 g/L) balanced by 4.3 g/L residual sugar, creating a long, harmonious finish. Rich yet elegant, it reveals a layered complexity where fruit, oak, and spice interplay seamlessly. At 14.5% alcohol, Happy Forever Syrah is approachable in youth while structured enough for careful short-term ageing.
