Fraser is known for his unwavering commitment to producing high-quality, small-batch Shiraz from the Hoffmann's 'Dallwitz' vineyard in the Barossa Valley. This vineyard boasts some of the oldest vines in Australia, with some dating back to 1888, which Fraser treats with the utmost care and attention.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"2022-sami-odi-hoffmann-dallwitz-syrah-750ml","title":"2022 Sami-Odi Hoffmann Dallwitz Syrah 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eYields ranged between 35 \u0026amp; 51 hectolitres per hectare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6485 bottles were filled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Bank Calendar illustration, reworked 2021.\u003cbr\u003eRear – Our family as elephants, drawn 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Winemaker\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"post-intro\"\u003eWorking exclusively with shiraz from the revered Hoffmann Vineyard for his label, Sami-Odi, Fraser McKinley has reframed the possibilities of what Barossa wine can be. Sourced from small plots of vines (some significantly old), which he tends with organic principles, his wines are made using only whole bunches, with no adds bar a touch of sulphur. Blending across sites, barrels and even vintages, McKinley remakes the puzzle of components in surprising ways, creating wines that tell stories of time, place and people. He was crowned Young Gun of Wine in 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfter completing a bachelor’s degree in Spatial Design, Fine Art \u0026amp; Design at home in Auckland, Fraser McKinley moved to Sydney. After a brief trip to the Barossa, working vintage, his career was irrevocably tilted towards wine – a not unfamiliar story. His winemaking apprenticeship was at Torbreck and the Standish Wine Co., with over a decade spent as an assistant winemaker between the two. And while both of those makers have shaped McKinley’s skills, his own Sami-Odi bottlings walk with distinctly less Barossa swagger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"o-p c-tasting__description-main-blurb\" id=\"tastingNote\"\u003e\"Fraser McKinley's epic Dallwitz Syrah is again in stellar form with the 2022 release. Like everything Fraser does, the attention to detail is amazing, from vineyard to packaging. It hails from the Hoffmann vineyard in Ebenezer. A cask selection from DW-OLD (planted between 1888–1912), ER-27 (planted 1927) and DW-95VSP (planted 1995) with a 76 week elevage in Burgundian pièces. Perfectly ripened macerated satsuma plum, black cherry and cassis with blueberry lift; layered with exotic spice, graphite, allspice, pan juices, panforte, dark chocolate, plum conserve, violets, fennel and rich earth. Heady concentration and perfectly poised, with powdery tannins sporting a real sense of compression and singing clearly of their northern Barossa roots. It's a stunning wine. Much adored and sought after, and it sure is easy to see why.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"o-h c-tasting__description-main-author\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003e98 Points Halliday Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e, Dave Brookes, \u003cspan class=\"o-p c-tasting__description-main-time\"\u003ePublished 07 August 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43330316206275,"sku":"SK37769313","price":289.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/4714\/4643\/files\/700_701_2022_SAMI-ODI_Hoffmann_Dallwitz_Shiraz_Barossa_Valley_shopify.jpg?v=1785756198"},{"product_id":"sami-odi-little-wine-110-syrah-750ml","title":"Sami-Odi Little Wine #10 Syrah 750ml","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn unvintaged assemblage composed of casks from 2022 (49%), 2021 (23%), 2020 (11%), 2019 (8%), 2018 (1%), 2017 (4%), 2016 (2%) \u0026amp; 2015 (2%).
