2019 Hey Tomorrow & Syrahmi Syrah [Heathcote]
Winemaker Adam Foster belongs to a generation of winemakers driving Heathcote in new and exciting directions. His Syrahmi syrahs have a loyal following, so it’s great to see this wine in the Hey Tomorrow line-up. It’s a bloody delicious red wine, with intense spicy purple fruit flavours and an undertow of deeply savoury, almost gamey darkness. It would be great to sip while you’re preparing a slow braise of – vegetarians avert your gaze – something deeply meaty (hare, if you can get it), and then while you’re eating it – and when you’re eating it again the next day (because slow meaty braises always taste better reheated). $60
