2013 Sami-Odi 'DW-OLD' Shiraz 750ml

Awards, Ratings & Reviews

“There's an incredibly focused impression from this wine, delivering concentrated blackberry and black cherry aromas. The spice is gentle and there's essence-like concentration. The palate has a very smooth fleshy shape and great layering of tannins through dense fruit. It's pastry-like too, and some cola flavor chimes in. The wine has density with lightness, steady presence, great length, and the balance is faultless. The purity and sense of care, respect and understanding in the making is omnipresent, deference to the Hoffmann family who tend this superb parcel of vines. Fruit and tannins stretch long; this is a memorable rendition of classic Barossa reinvented. Drink in 2017.”

About This Wine

A composition of casks yielded exclusively from a ’slither-like’ section of the Hoffmann’s oldest and most highly prized block; Dallwitz Old.

These old plants were sown by Oscar Falland between 1888 & 1912 on land that at the time belonged to the Dallwitz family.

The 2.12 hectares are farmed solely by the Hoffmann family and have been tenderly cared for each season since they began share farming it for the Dallwitz’s in the 1920s (the Hoffmann’s later acquired it in the 1940s).

3074 bottles were filled.

Label: ‘ODI’ title page with collage rear; Front label sourced Rome 2001. Rear painted 1996 & reworked 2014.
