Jean-René Germanier`s Cayas Syrah is a red wine from Valais, Switzerland. This flagship red wine of the domaine is often compared to Northern Rhône equivalents, grown on schist soils. The 2016 vintage is a textbook example of Swiss mountain Syrah, benefiting from a long 70-day period from véraison to harvest. The wine undergoes a cold-soak, ambient yeast fermentation, and then two years of ageing in neutral barrique, with 50% new oak. This careful process results in a powerful, structured wine with concentrated black fruit, cracked pepper and smoked meat complexity, built on firm structure and fine tannins.

Aged in 228-liter barrels for 20 months, the 2022 Syrah du Valais Réserve Cayas is deep, pure, fresh and mineral on the saline and pure yet intense and concentrated nose. Enormously fine and juicy on the palate, this is a full-bodied, concentrated and silky red with plenty of fine but tightening tannins and really fine and smooth acidity that leads to a long, dense, intense, still young and somewhat closed finish. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in Vétroz, March 2025. - Stephan Reinhardt
