The 2024 Sami-Odi Hoffmann Dallwitz Syrah is drawn from the oldest sections of the Hoffmann family vineyard in Ebenezer, with own-rooted vines planted as early as 1888 and 1912, complemented by material from a 1927 block. These ancient plantings grow in deep red Barossa soils and yield very small crops, creating natural concentration without heaviness. Winemaker Fraser McKinley follows a meticulous, low-intervention approach, harvesting by hand and fermenting with whole bunches and indigenous yeasts to capture the personality of the site. Long macerations and gentle basket pressing build structure while preserving aromatic lift. The wine matures primarily in seasoned French oak barrels so the vineyard character remains the focus rather than overt oak flavour. The 2024 vintage shows both depth and energy, combining dark fruit richness with floral perfume and spice. Despite its density, the wine remains poised, supported by fine tannins and natural acidity rather than extraction. With time in the glass, savoury, earthy and mineral layers emerge. It is compelling in youth with decanting but is fundamentally built for long cellaring, evolving for fifteen years or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Perfumed and layered\u003cbr\u003eBlackberry, boysenberry and dark cherry aromas interwoven with violet, black pepper, clove and subtle dried herbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Powerful yet balanced\u003cbr\u003eConcentrated black fruits and plum framed by fine tannins, savoury spice and mineral tension, showing depth without heaviness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e– Long and savoury\u003cbr\u003ePersistent finish of cracked pepper, graphite and earth, with lingering dark fruit and refined structural grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e“An extraordinary expression of old-vine Barossa syrah, layered with dark fruits, spice and violet perfume.
