SYRAHMI ONCE IN A LIFETIME SHIRAZ 2021 - red

Style: Savoury & DetailedAdam Foster worked as a chef in Victoria and London before moving to the front of house and becoming increasingly interested in wine. He then worked as a cellar hand with a who’s who in Australia and France, including Torbreck, Chapoutier, Mitchelton, Domaine Ogier, Heathcote Winery, Jasper Hill and Domaine Pierre Gaillard. He became convinced that the Cambrian soils of Heathcote could produce the best possible shiraz, and since '04 has purchased grapes from the region. In '17, 0.8ha of shiraz (3 clones) were planted at 8888 vines/ha at Tooborac, with a winery completed in time for the ’19 vintage. -JAMES HALLIDAYYes, the name is from the Talking Heads song, and yes, the tune will now play on repeat in your head for the rest of the day. Thank you, Adam Foster. From a top vintage, a wine of some class. Dark purple plum in hue. Tasted before release and already well integrated with a distinctive Heathcote personality in plush, ripe black fruits boasting a rich layer of spice, sage, cacao, a mineral-edged earthiness, bracken and briar. Unfolds with a relaxed air, unhurried, with tannins lithe and abiding. You may find yourself enjoying this early or cellaring for later. JENI PORT, Wine CompanionThis is seriously good. It’s bold, neat, structured and polished, with conviction and emphasis in all the right places. It tastes of fennel and plums, red cherry and sweet spices, with mint, undergrowth and roasted spice notes evident in the highlights. One mouthful and I was convinced.
