"In homage to Guigal's famous La Mouline, La Turque and La Landonne - my vision for this wine is to attempt to age a single vineyard Heathcote Shiraz in 100% new oak for a minimum of 36 months. The 2019 Syrahmi La La is our ninth release - coming from an outstanding vintage that had good fruit set, producing grapes with lovely colour and intensity. The grapes were hand picked in the Greenstone vineyard, which is set on 550 million year old Pre-Cambrian era soils at 200m elevation, and fermentation took place with 100% whole bunch, wild yeasts and hand plunging. The wine then aged in 100% new 500L Stockinger barrel for 51 months (the longest yet), before bottling in August 2023. Now, with 6.5 years of age, the 2019 Syrahmi La La is ready to meet the world" - Notes from the Producer

<em>Nominated for Shiraz of the Year, Halliday Wine Companion 2026</em>
<em>"La La is power with poise. Bold in deep blood red-garnet hues, it opens with a fragrance rich in ripe black fruits, dark baking spices, dried cranberry, sage, anise, dusty cacao, cardamom and a hint of black pepper. It's complex, still unfolding even as a six-year-old, gloriously earthy and bold and at the same time offering a fineness of expression across the mid-palate enlivened by herbs and spice and delivered in elegant, fine tannins. Judging by its length and detailed construction, it's got some ways still to go."</em> <strong>97 points - Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion</strong>
