2020 Syrahmi Introspect Shiraz

The name Syrahmi combines "Syrah," the French word for Shiraz, and "Ami," meaning friend, symbolizing a "friendly Shiraz." Founded in 2004 by former chef Adam Foster, Syrahmi began with a small batch of fruit from Heathcote. Each year, fruit is carefully sourced from different vineyards in the Heathcote region, with the wines named uniquely to reflect each vintage.
Sourced from Carl Brown’s certified organic vineyard in Colbinabbin, this wine is made with 90% whole bunch fruit and fermented with wild yeast in a 4000L concrete vat. Gentle hand and foot plunging was followed by malolactic fermentation and 20 months of maturation in a 2800L used French oak foudre. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, it spent two years in bottle before release.
Alc. 13.8%

Other Reviews....
Certified organic, 90% whole bunch, aged in 2800L foudres. The whole-bunch percentage is obviously high, but the fruit has taken it up beautifully; there's nothing hard, green or jangly here. This is awash with sweet, juicy, red-berried fruit, the complements coming in the form of roasted nut, smoked wood and game characters. In short, it puts on quite a show. Drink 2024 - 2032.
