Echo Ren

Sami-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.

Why Sami-Odi?

Sami-Odi wines are crafted with an uncompromising dedication to site and purity. Every bottle is a reflection of the Barossa’s storied Hoffmann vineyards, where old vines and careful farming create wines of extraordinary depth and character. Winemaker Fraser McKinley’s minimalist approach—wild ferments, whole-bunch inclusion, and gentle extraction—ensures that each wine speaks authentically of its terroir.

Both of these new releases are available now, but quantities are extremely limited. Whether you’re a dedicated collector or a lover of expressive, site-driven Syrah, these wines are must-haves for 2024.
