Sami-Odi ‘Hoffmann Dallwitz’ Syrah 2023

TASTING NOTE BY MSQ

【 Sami-Odi—澳洲新銳精品酒莊 】

Barossa可以說是澳洲的「Shiraz之鄉」，是澳洲大部分優質且著名的Shiraz紅酒的誕生之地。酒莊Sami-Odi亦位于此地。

這家小酒莊創立于2006年，創始人兼釀酒師Fraser McKinley在紐西蘭完成美術與設計的專業學習后，在一次短暫的Barossa之行中參與了釀酒季的工作，其后他的職業生涯便徹底轉向葡萄酒。Fraser McKinley在Barossa深耕多年，曾先后任職于Standish Wine和Torbreck Vintners，其后便創立屬于自己的酒莊Sami-Odi。

Sami-Odi以Hoffmann家族Dallwitz葡萄園內的多個地塊的Syrah提子為原料，最老的葡萄藤大概來自1912年。Fraser McKinley憑借其美術背景形成的獨特美學理念，將有機種植、整串發酵與最低干預工藝相結合，打破單一年份的局限，通過自由混釀打造出兼具深度、優雅、平衡與清新感的葡萄酒——重新詮釋了Barossa Syrah紅酒的風格。

這種風格的葡萄酒亦深得酒評人的喜愛與追捧。自推出以來，一直獲得The Wine Adovocate的95+高分好評。在澳洲葡萄酒最權威的分級指南、澳洲精品酒收藏風向標「朗頓分級」（Langton’s Classification）最新一版中，Sami-Odi成為少有的新入選酒莊，“Little Wine”同 “Hoffmann Dallwitz”都上榜“Classifed”級別。產量少，質量高，經常一瓶難求。

這款Hoffmann Dallwitz是酒莊的經典作品之一。2023年的酒液精選自以下地塊的優質酒桶：DW-OLD（種植于1888至1912年間）、ER-27（種植于1927年）及DW-95VSP（種植于1995年）。僅裝瓶了5328瓶。它比2022年份更為細膩，酒精度14.4%，略低于2022年的15.2%。

TASTING NOTE BY WINE CRITICS

The 2023 Hoffmann Dallwitz represents the 18th vintage of this wine, and the proportion of older vines versus the younger vines was far outweighed by the former in this year. Here, there were three picks of Hoffmann Dallwitz Old Block fruit, two picks of the 1927 vines in the Hoffmann Dallwitz vineyard and a barrel of the 2022 Hoffmann Dallwitz in the blend as well. This is an altogether darker, more concentrated wine than either the Little Wine #14 or the Our Hill (OH) in this same release. That darkness (without cumbersome weight or overlarge size) sits well within the shape of the wine. That dark fruit note and the tannins that encase it are graphite and gravel, clove and star anise, as well. This is super. It is finer than the 2022 release (which I really loved). 14.4% alcohol, sealed under natural cork and wax.
