Late last year Got Somme host Angus O'Loughlin was asked via our Instagram
"What bottle would you cellar for ten years"
He held up a 2021 Demi Shiraz that he was drinking in that moment.
That led to a phone call to Syrahmi owner Adam Foster who was inspecting the vines and they confirmed his studio attendance as first winemaker on the podcast in 2024!
Bottles brought into studio:
2022 Demi Shiraz
2017 Lala
2018 LaLa
2022 Syrahmi 'Angus'
2004 Syrahmi (first ever vintage)
 
A bit of Syrahmi: The name Syrahmi is a made up from “Syrah” the French word for Shiraz and “Ami” meaning friend. The idea being a “friendly Shiraz” or “A friend of Shiraz”. Syrahmi began in 2004 when Adam Foster gave up his day job as a Chef to pursue his dream of becoming a wine maker. He purchased his first tonne and a half of grapes from Heathcote winery and the dream was born. Each year grapes for Syrahmi are sourced and selected from different vineyards in the Heathcote region. Thus each year the wines are given a different name to reflect the vintage.
