Syrahmi 'La La' Heathcote Syrah 2018

Producer Notes "The 2018 Syrahmi La La is our eighth 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 600L Stockinger barrel for 50 months (the longest yet), before bottling in August 2022."

97 pts Wine Companion - "'It's a dense wine, it displays a significant volume of both fruit and oak, and it churns with tannin from the mid-point of the wine onwards. It's a svelte, smoky, complex version of the take-no-prisoners style. And yet, even though it is all that, it's a good deal more as well, thanks mostly to the wonderful length of its flavour but also to the wine's rare blend of kaleidoscopic flavour and all-around control."
