Syrahmi Grenache 2023 by Adam Foster out of Heathcote is a beautifully perfumed, red‑soiled Grenache that marries wild raspberry charm with serious depth and length. This 2023 Syrahmi Grenache comes off the Humis vineyard on classic red Cambrian soils, with around 50–60% whole bunch, wild ferment and old oak, giving lifted raspberry and cherry, blood orange, thyme and baked red‑earth spice in a medium‑bodied, unctuous yet finely structured style.

In the glass it is all wild raspberry, cherry ripe, campari, blood orange and dried herbs, with soft, velvety tannins and a long, driving finish that shows why Heathcote Grenache is on the rise. The palate is glycerol and plush but kept in check by bright acid and that gentle stem‑derived spice, so Syrahmi Grenache 2023 drinks beautifully now, especially with a light chill, yet has the stuffing for a decade in the cellar.

Food‑wise, it is a natural with lamb cutlets, chargrilled meats, slow‑cooked lamb shoulder or a rich, herby ratatouille, where the red fruit and earth sync perfectly with savoury flavours. It will also sing with wood‑fired pizza, tomato‑based pasta or a roast beetroot and halloumi salad, making it a versatile option for both casual dinners and more serious Grenache‑driven line‑ups.
