ABOUT THIS WINE
The Heller Anarchy Syrah is a 100% Syrah from the Rhône Valley, classified as Vin de France. It is produced by Heller Wines, a brand established in 2018 by Quentin Heller, who champions a natural winemaking approach. The grapes are cultivated on old vines rooted in a specific Miocene clay terroir, known for its water retention which aids in polyphenol maturity. The wine's designation as 'Anarchie' signifies its unconstrained expression of fruit and terroir, achieved through a winemaking process that omits added sulfites.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Anarchy Syrah undergoes total destemming before a four-week maceration period in raw concrete vats. The wine is then bottled without any added sulfites, a key technique that defines its 'anarchic' approach. It is not aged in oak, allowing the purity of the fruit and terroir to dominate. The vineyard's clay soil is managed to induce moderate water stress, aiding in the optimal maturity of polyphenols.
