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 (70% 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.

"Teases with an earthy savouriness but, as ever, remains wholly enjoyable upon release with its black fruits, briar, dried herb, woodsy spice and gum leaf notes. Offers a taste of the land, with savoury, earthy tannins forming a dense, firm basis for a wine that will age reliably and long, should you wish. In the meantime, open and swish and let it breathe."

93 points & Wine of the Week - "Bright and deep purple-red colour; fragrant pepper-spice bouquet with some vegetal bunchy traces as well as red and darker fruits. An elegant and beautifully trimmed palate—not heavy or extractive but glides across the palate, with grace and balance. This drinks beautifully young. " - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)

92+ points - This is a free-flowing release with fruit freshness to the fore. Red cherry flavours swing gently into darker berry territory, though twiggy spice and herb characters are in lock-step every inch of the way. This is a fine-boned, juicy red wine of genuine finesse, the latter evident in the tannin profile as well. There’s a slight sourness to the fruit here, an element I often see in Syrahmi wines, which effectively gives the wines a feel of ‘Burgundian shiraz’. This wine will mature handsomely and, for now, responds beautifully to being decanted." -Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
