Sami Odi Hoffmann Dallwitz Syrah 2020

Assembled from the two oldest sections within the Hoffmann families vineyard; planted on their own roots in 1927 and the oldest vines between 1888 & 1912 with welcome smidgens from the neighbouring blocks planted in 1994, 1995 & 1996.
These 18 Burgundian Pièces were carefully assembled and bottled amidst the spring of 2021 after enduring their 82 week elevage. Bottles were filled without filtration, fining or sparging (the removal of naturally occurring oxygen & C02) and all transfer’s were completed via gravity prior to bottling.

The Sami-Odi 2020 Hoffmann Dallwitz is from the two blocks of old vines (planted 1888 - 1927) on the Hoffman-Dallwitz vineyard. This has sensational gravitas and weight in the mouth, bolstered by density and closeness of tannin: silty, graphite, chewy, pliable, ductile tannin. It is possessed of nothing short of a kaleidoscopic fruit profile, framed within a medium to medium-plus weight body. The Goldilocks zone, for me. This is elegant and fine, very exciting. Big. Balanced. Awesome. Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate
