Echo RenSami-Odi, the boutique Barossa Valley producer known for its meticulous winemaking and small-batch Syrahs, has just released two exceptional new wines: the 2023 Sami-Odi Hoffmann Dallwitz Syrah and the Sami-Odi Little Wine #14 Syrah. These highly anticipated releases continue to showcase the winery’s commitment to quality, site expression, and minimal intervention winemaking.
2023 Sami-Odi Hoffmann Dallwitz Syrah
The Hoffmann Dallwitz Syrah is the flagship of Sami-Odi, sourced from the revered Hoffmann family’s vineyards in the western reaches of the Barossa Valley. The 2023 vintage reflects the finesse and complexity that have made this bottling so sought after.
Tasting Notes:
-
Aroma: Lifted florals, dark berries, graphite, and hints of exotic spice.
-
Palate: Rich yet elegant, with fine-grained tannins and a seamless balance between power and precision.
-
Finish: Long and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of dark fruits and savoury minerality.
This is a wine built for aging, with its structure and depth promising remarkable evolution over the next decade or more.
Sami-Odi Little Wine #14 Syrah
The Little Wine #14 is a unique blend, bringing together fruit from multiple vintages and different parcels of the Hoffmann family’s old vines. This approach results in a wine that is complex, expressive, and immensely drinkable upon release.
Tasting Notes:
-
Aroma: Vibrant red and black fruits, violets, and a touch of earthiness.
-
Palate: Juicy and layered, with supple tannins and a fresh acidity that enhances its approachability.
-
Finish: Silky and refined, with a beautifully integrated structure.
Little Wine #14 is designed for immediate enjoyment, though it will continue to develop in the bottle over the coming years.
