Hermitage Guigal 1990 is a mature single-vineyard Syrah from the Northern Rhône Valley reflecting the meticulous selection practices of the renowned Guigal family. This wine undergoes an extensive ageing process, spending over three years in large oak foudres, which contributes to its complexity. Guigal avoids filtration, allowing the natural characteristics of the wine to shine through. Established in 1946, the esteemed Guigal estate has a reputation for its rigorous approach and dedication to quality.
