2016 Sami-Odi Hoffmann Dallwitz Syrah 750ml

Our prime cask selection bred from the gorgeously balanced 2016 growing season is a sleek and vibrant portrayal of the Hoffmann’s prized ‘Dallwitz’ holdings. It’s vivid and high toned fragrance makes for pleasurable drinking now yet its taught disposition should provide ample framework for extended cellaring.

Sourced from the Hoffmann families oldest vines (DW-OLD ~ 0.775 Hectare) and our original four rows from the adjacent plantings (DW-95VSP ~ 0.354 Hectare). Both planted on their own roots in 1995 & the oldest plants between 1888 & 1912.

These 17 Burgundian Pièces were carefully assembled and bottled amidst the spring of 2017 after enduring their 81 week elevage. Bottles were filled without filtration, fining or sparging (the removal of naturally occurring oxygen & C02) and all transfer’s were completed via gravity prior to bottling.

Yields were 32 & 35 hectolitres per hectare

4791 bottles were filled.
