SYRAHMI DEMI HEATHCOTE SHIRAZ 2023

Style: Savoury & Detailed

Adam Foster worked as a chef in Vic and London before moving to the front of house and becoming increasingly interested in wine. He then worked as a cellar hand with a whos who of Australia and France, including Torbreck, Chapoutier, Mitchelton, Domaine Ogier, Heathcote Winery, Jasper Hill and Domaine Pierre Gaillard. He became convinced that the Cambrian soils of Heathcote could produce the best possible shiraz, and since 2004 has purchased grapes from the region, using the full bag of open ferment techniques, whole bunches, extended cold soak, wild yeast and mlf and hand plunging, then 13 months in French oak, bottled unfined and unfiltered. JAMES HALLIDAY 

Herbs and bay leaves on the nose. The palate is bursting with fruit ¿ plum, blackberry, blackcurrent and spiced fruits. Peppery and juicy. Deep ruby purple in the glass. The 2023 Demi by Syrahmi is a blend of three vineyards from the Heathcote region. Kennedys, Carl Brown, & Cavalry all make up the blend with a typical high percentage of whole bunch (+60%). Wild yeast fermentation and malolactic fermentation. Open fermenter, foot & hand plunging with minimal pump overs. Matured in new and seasoned French oak for 12 months and a further 3 months in stainless steel before bottling. SYRAHMI
