The Sami-Odi Little Wine #10 Syrah is a highly allocated, non-vintage Barossa Syrah from the cult producer Sami-Odi, widely regarded for producing some of Australia’s most aromatic, textural, and site-expressive Syrah wines.

Little Wine is Sami-Odi’s signature multi-vintage concept, designed to build complexity through time rather than a single harvest snapshot. Release #10 is assembled from carefully selected barrels spanning multiple vintages and vineyard parcels within the historic Hoffmann Vineyard in Ebenezer, including fruit from ancient, dry-grown vines that contribute exceptional concentration and depth.

The blend is typically composed of a detailed selection across several years (including older and younger components), creating a layered and evolving expression of Barossa Syrah that emphasizes perfume, texture, and finesse over overt power.

Winemaking follows Sami-Odi’s minimal-intervention philosophy: whole-bunch fermentation, native yeast, gentle extraction, long élevage in seasoned French oak, and no fining or filtration. The focus is entirely on vineyard expression, aromatic lift, and structural precision.

The bouquet is highly perfumed and complex, showing blackberry, black cherry, blueberry, and dark plum, lifted by floral aromatics of violet, lavender, and rose petal. Beneath the fruit sits a detailed savoury core of black pepper, graphite, dried herbs, bay leaf, and earthy spice, with subtle mineral and smoky nuances.

On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied, silky, and finely structured, with beautifully resolved tannins and a sense of layered depth. Flavours of dark berries, red fruits, and spice are framed by freshness and tension, giving the wine both immediacy and longevity.

The finish is long, perfumed, and nuanced, with lingering notes of black fruit, floral lift, pepper spice, and stony minerality. Already expressive, it will continue to evolve over the next decade or more, gaining additional savoury complexity and aromatic detail.

A benchmark release in the Sami-Odi portfolio, Little Wine #10 showcases the artistry of blending across time, delivering one of the most distinctive Syrah expressions in Australia.
