Sami-Odi
About Sami-Odi
No longer a stranger to any wine enthusiast, the meteoric rise of Sami-Odi began in 2018 when his flagship, Hoffman Dallwitz 2016 was placed Number Two spot in James Suckling’s Top 100 Wines of Australia, ranking just behind Hill of Grace and beating the likes of Grange, Astralis and The Caley.
The man behind this extraordinary label is Fraser McKinley, who was trained at both Torbreck and Standish. Fraser started moonlighting during his time at Torbreck finding his first sight, four rows of vines from a farmer called Hoffman. He initially started his own side project for educational purposes but quickly realised the potential of the sites that he was finding. Fraser now makes miniscule batches of the finest Syrah and most forward-thinking wines in the Barossa.
Viniculture
McKinley has a very specific vision for his wine-making. He follows organic viticulture in the vineyard, and he trains the vines rigorously to allow earlier harvesting to retain natural acidity in the grapes. He also values the fine art of blending, using his skill to bring out the essence of vineyard sites, grape varietals and vine ages. McKinley is an artist with a canvass, creating vintage or varietal expressions and presenting them in unique bottle shapes and label designs.
