Syrah

The dark grape of the northern Rhône.

What

The Syrah vine in leaf and cluster, from the plates of the Ampélographie.

Why

Viala and Vermorel’s Ampélographie, published in seven volumes between 1901 and 1910, portrayed the grapes of the world like a court gallery.

Notice

The blue bloom on the berries.

“A noble line, drawn from life.”
