Description

Syrahmi owner/winemaker Adam Foster clearly states the intentions for his Demi Shiraz: "over delivering is the name of the game!"

Demi is a mid-weight Shiraz with loads of character from three well-known vineyards in Heathcote.

There's a fair amount of whole bunches used (60% this year), giving lifted aromatics and spice. A lot of thought and detailed winemaking for this price!

A terrific introduction to a hugely exciting Victorian winemaker, and as far as Heathcote Shiraz goes this as good value as any.

95 points
"Demi is all about drinkability on the one hand, but nuance, depth, and grace on the other. Engages immediately with blackcurrant, loganberry, black cherry, earthy spices, acacia, briar, and a touch of aromatic florals and Aussie bush. Offers a medium-bodied look at Heathcote Shiraz from a mild year, laced in lovely spices, flowing in ripe fruit, fine-edged in tannin, and thoughtful by design. Offers a subtle framework with enduring flavour."

    Great value, complex and elegant

    Meets all expectations for a shiraz and great value for the price point, good after airing for a short period.
