2023 Domaine De l'Ecu Syrah Nobis

Crack open a bottle of Domaine de l’Ecu Syrah Nobis and let the good vibes flow. Sourced from 25-30-year-old Syrah vines just outside Châteauneuf-du-Pape, this natural red from the Loire Valley is a juicy, unfiltered gem. Fred Niger, a trailblazer in biodynamic winemaking, crafts this wine with zero sulfur, fining, or filtration, letting the grape’s vibrant soul shine. Its red-violet hue and lively, peppery character make it a crowd-pleaser for casual gatherings or cozy nights. Perfect for those who love bold flavors with a touch of rustic charm, Nobis is a sip of pure, unadulterated joy.

Nose: Inhale deeply—blackberry and violet aromas swirl with crushed black peppercorn and a hint of forest floor. It’s a fragrant invitation to adventure.

Palate: Juicy black cherry and blueberry explode, laced with savory cured meat and a dash of eucalyptus. The medium-bodied texture balances bright acidity with silky tannins.

Finish: A smoky, spicy finale lingers, with ripe black fruit and gentle grip leaving you hooked.

This Syrah is your go-to for bold, hearty dishes. Pair it with a sizzling burger topped with melted Swiss and mushrooms for a match made in heaven. It also sings with charcuterie boards, crispy frites, or a slow-braised lamb shank, where its peppery zip cuts through rich flavors. For vegetarians, try it with a smoky eggplant tagine—the wine’s spice amplifies the dish’s depth.
