Graillot & Thalvin, Tandem Syrah 2020 Portfolio and lively Seven Springs ChardonnayAlain Graillot is best known in the Northern Rhone for his excellent Crozes Hermitage wines. Here he has turned his hand to an altogether different terroir for Syrah Morocco. As might be expected from the warmer climate, this is bigger and riper than a classic Rhone Syrah more Southern Rhone in character than Northern but has a definite 'old world' feel from spicy complexity and structure.
