Syrahmi Demi by Syrahmi Shiraz 2024 is the 14th release of one of Heathcote’s most celebrated and distinctive Shiraz expressions — a blend of three vineyards (Kennedy’s, Carl Brown, and Humis) crafted with over 70% whole-bunch fermentation, wild yeast, and open fermenter foot and hand plunging, before 12 months in new and seasoned French oak and a further 2 months in stainless steel. Vivid crimson and purple in colour, with an intense bouquet of wild raspberries, black olives, soy, and earthy notes, and a palate of crushed granite, red and black cherries, graphite, and gun smoke delivering vibrant freshness and length. Savoury dried herbs, spice, graphite, and tapenade. Fine tannins. A long, savoury finish that combines concentration with elegance. Heathcote’s essence, captured with greater depth and intensity than ever before.

Tasting Notes

Appearance

Vivid crimson and purple — the striking, deeply saturated colour of a Heathcote Shiraz crafted from three estate vineyards with over 70% whole-bunch fermentation and the minimal intervention philosophy that defines Syrahmi.

Aroma

An intense bouquet of wild raspberries, black olives, soy, and earthy notes — the complex, expressive, and distinctly Heathcote aromatic profile of a Shiraz crafted with wild yeast fermentation, open fermenters, and foot and hand plunging for maximum character and minimal extraction.

Palate

Crushed granite, red and black cherries, graphite, and gun smoke — vibrant freshness and length, with savoury dried herbs, spice, graphite, and tapenade reappearing alongside fine tannins from 70% whole-bunch fermentation. Balanced red fruits lead to a long, savoury finish that combines concentration with elegance. Greater depth and intensity than ever before.

Pairs With

A natural partner for slow-roasted lamb, duck confit, venison, charcuterie, aged hard cheeses, and the finest savoury table — the graphite, gun smoke, wild raspberry, and tapenade character of Syrahmi Demi makes it a deeply compelling and rewarding companion for food of genuine substance and flavour.

Winemaking Notes

A blend of three Heathcote vineyards — Kennedy’s, Carl Brown, and Humis — with a typical high percentage of whole-bunch fermentation at over 70%. Wild yeast fermentation and malolactic fermentation in open fermenters, with foot and hand plunging and minimal pump overs for gentle extraction and maximum character. Matured in new and seasoned French oak for 12 months, followed by a further 2 months in stainless steel before bottling. The 14th release of Demi by Syrahmi. Each one better than the last.

Vintage Conditions

A very cold winter in Heathcote led into a mild and very wet spring, with mild conditions continuing throughout summer. Harvest didn’t commence until March — roughly four weeks later than average — allowing the fruit to hang for longer and develop greater concentration without alcohol ripeness. Yields were down slightly, but quality remained high, resulting in the lovely savoury flavours and the depth and intensity that define the 2024 vintage. Heathcote at its most patient. And its most rewarding.
