2010 Sami-Odi Hoffmann Dallwitz MCMXII Shiraz 750ml

2010 Sami-Odi Hoffmann Dallwitz MCMXII Shiraz 750ml is an iconic and highly collectible Barossa Valley wine crafted by Fraser McKinley. Sourced exclusively from the historic Hoffmann “Dallwitz” vineyard—home to some of Australia’s oldest Shiraz vines dating back to 1888–1912—this cuvée represents a pure expression of site, vine age, and meticulous craftsmanship.

Produced in extremely limited quantities, the wine is made using whole-bunch fermentation, organic vineyard practices, and minimal intervention. It is matured for extended periods in seasoned oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered, preserving its natural complexity and character.

On the nose, it reveals intense and layered aromas of dark berries, plum, black olive, spice, and earthy undertones. The palate is powerful yet refined, offering remarkable depth with concentrated dark fruit, savoury nuances, graphite-like minerality, and finely structured tannins. Elegant rather than heavy, it balances richness with freshness, leading to a long, intricate finish.

A benchmark Australian Shiraz, the 2010 MCMXII is both a profound drinking experience and a cellar-worthy wine with exceptional ageing potential, highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of cult Barossa producers.
