Sami-Odi

Syrah in Barossa Valley

A small winery, that goes by the curious name of Sami-Odi, producing minuscule quantities of syrah of the highest order. Winemaker Fraser previously worked with the Standish Wine Company and Torbreck Vintners, but in 2006 he embarked on a totally new project. Syrah (not Shiraz as stipulated by Fraser) are vinified separately from selected plots of Barossa Valley’s finest vineyards to create a cuvee with combined strengths. The 'Baby Tui' is procured entirely from three treasured plots within the Hoffmann families 'Dallwitz' vineyard, adjacent to the Eben-Ezer/Walla Walla centenary stone. Each of these blocks are propagated from original Hoffmann cuttings and were planted on their own roots in 1995, 1996 & the oldest vines that were planted prior to family records being established in 1912.
