2018 SYRAHMI La La Shiraz

In homage to Guigal’s famous La Mouline, La Turque and La Landonne – my vision for this wine is to attempt to age a single vineyard Heathcote Shiraz in 100% new oak for a minimum of 36 months. This is the eighth release of Syrahmi La La. It is produced in tiny volumes, from a single barrel of Shiraz and will only ever be released in great vintages. The wine is released only when it’s believed to be ready with a minimum of 6 years of age.

Bottled 27th July 2022

The 2018 Syrahmi La La is our eighth release – coming from an outstanding vintage that had good fruit set, producing grapes with lovely colour and intensity. The grapes were hand picked in the Greenstone vineyard, which is set on 550 million year old Pre-Cambrian era soils at 200m elevation, and fermentation took place with 100% whole bunch, wild yeasts and hand plunging. The wine then aged in 100% new 600L Stockinger barrel for 50 months (the longest yet), before bottling in August 2022.

Now, with 6.5 years of age, the 2018 Syrahmi La La is ready to meet the world.

All grapes were handpicked < 1 to 1.5 kg per vine.
