Xtrasyrah '04: Edra makes a new splash!

Alejandro Ascaso from Bodega Edra today sent me some info on their soon to be released, 100% Syrah called Xtrasyrah 2004. Like their previous release, Merlot/Cabernet 2004, it features a completely unique, very eye-catching label. You have to see to believe it!

According to the release notes, the "Xtra" name was choosen to denote the extra-ordinary efforts that winemaker Maria Pilar Rivera and the entire Edra team have made in producing the wine: from the selection of grapes from the wineries vineyards, the hand-picking, further selection following fermentation and from the barrels.

I am very much looking forward to trying Xtrasyrah; if its anything like Edra's previous release, it should be amazing!
