Description

The very thoughtful and considered ethos of Samantha Chandra is behind this lovely Syrah from Flaxman Valley in the Barossa region.

Made with fruit entirely from the Naimanya Vineyard with 30+ year old Shiraz vines, it sits at 525 metres above sea level and is thought to be the highest Shiraz site in South Australia!

Two different picks were done, one earlier to get grapes with bright natural acidity and then a later pick for depth of flavour, complexity and tannin.

Aged entirely in older oak, bottled without fining or filtration, the whole package comes together into a beautifully integrated, flavourful Syrah with minimal additions. Elegant stuff, and a great addition the Barossa/Eden Valley wine scene.

Only 143 dozen produced.

"Outstanding, Deep and dark, brooding and yet holding this vivid sense of freshness, blue fruits, pretty spice, herbal lift and saline mineral charm. It elevates on each sip, feeling finer, friskier, lither, as you spend time with the wine... Finesse personified. It nails the brief. It feels of fruit and the depth possible from gentle handling. It’s wine I want to drink."
- Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

It elevates on each sip, feeling finer, friskier, lither, as you spend time with the wine. A corset of graphite-laced tannins lends structure and tension, acidity bright but back seat in the dark fruit, herbal and peppery elements. Finesse personified. It nails the brief. It feels of fruit and the depth possible from gentle handling. It’s wine I want to drink." - Mike Bennie (The Wine Front)

V22 in Eden Valley was a cool and mild season with slow ripening conditions resulting in bright acidity and giving rise to aromatic, vibrant wines.

The fruit for this wine was sourced from Christa and Leon Deans’ Naimanya vineyard in Flaxman Valley. Their vineyard is believed to be the highest shiraz site in SA, sitting at an elevation of 525m. The vines are over 30 years old with granitic loam soils that were formed from impact with a meteorite.

Two picks were made; an earlier pick for vibrant, natural acidity and a later pick for complexity. 100% whole bunches were wild fermented with three weeks on skins then matured on full lees for about a year. 100% old oak barrels were used, along with one second-fill François Frères hogshead.

Bottling took place on site without filtration or fining and all movements were done by gravity.

Setiono

Samantha Chandra is the heart and brains behind Setiono, a new project coming out of the Barossa.

After her first vintage at Wynns in Coonawarra where she worked closely with Sue Hodder, and furthered her winemaking experience by spending time at various other wineries in Australia (like Yering Station), as well as overseas in the Napa Valley.

Sentiono started as a passion project for Rhone style Syrah, and in 2021, Sam's dream was finally realised. She has plans to grow her label, and it's one to keep an eye on.
