2023 Sami Odi Hoffmann Dallwitz Syrah

Tasting Note

A vivid garnet in the glass, this Syrah shows lifted florals and layered dark fruit, with violets, ripe blueberries, and a touch of wild herbs on the nose. 

On the palate, it’s silky yet savoury — juicy black fruits (black cherry, blackberry) wrapped in fine powdery tannins, with hints of earth, dried herbs, and subtle spice. 

The finish is long and persistent, carrying minerality, exotic spice, and a gentle floral lift.

Technical / Production Notes

• 100% Syrah from Hoffmann‑Dallwitz Vineyard, Barossa Valley.

• Whole-cluster fermentation, gentle extraction, minimal handling.

• Aged 18–19 months in 228 L Burgundy barrels (~25% new).

• ABV: 14.4% 

• Production: Very low volume; traditional methods, unfined and unfiltered.

Cellaring & Food Pairing

• This wine is built to intrigue now but will reward patient cellaring over the next 10+ years.

• Decanting is recommended to coax out its layers of herbs, dark berries, and spice.

• Pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, game meats, or a charcuterie board.
