Syrahmi ‘Demi’ by Syrahmi 2024 from Heathcote is a medium‑bodied, whole‑bunch Shiraz that marries bright, wild fruit with savoury spice and that trademark red‑earth feel Adam Foster does so well. This 2024 Demi by Syrahmi Shiraz blends fruit from Kennedy’s, Carl Brown and Humis vineyards with around 75–85% whole bunch, wild ferment and 14 months in French oak, giving lifted wild raspberry, red and black cherry, blackcurrant, black olive, soy, graphite and crushed granite in a vibrant, moreish frame.

On the palate it is concentrated yet light on its feet, with medium body, juicy acidity and very fine, bunch‑derived tannins carrying red fruits, pepper, dried herbs, tapenade and earthy spice through a long, savoury finish. It feels both plush and energetic, so Syrahmi ‘Demi’ by Syrahmi 2024 drinks beautifully now with a short decant but has the structure to develop further complexity over the next decade.

Food‑wise, it is a versatile all‑rounder with pork, lamb, char‑grilled steaks, barbecue, pizza or rich pasta, where that mix of bright fruit, olive, soy and spice really comes into its own. It will also sing with hard cheeses, slow‑roasted veg or a mixed grill at your next barbie, making this Demi by Syrahmi 2024 a smart buy for both midweek drinking and more serious Shiraz line‑ups.
