Adam Foster has worn a number of hats over the years. A Chef-turned-sommelier-turned-winemaker, he has made his way firstly in some highly regarded kitchens as well as in some excellent wine bars and restaurants.

A thirst for knowledge and hands on experience led him to do a multitude of vintages back to back to back on both sides of the globe, learning his craft in the winery with greats like Don Lewis, Dave Powell, Ron Laughton, Pierre Gaillard and Stephane Ogier among others.

His love of Rhone varieties brought about the creation of Syrahmi in 2004, an expression of Shiraz always from Heathcote from a slew of organically farmed vineyards that is named in honour of someone or some event in the vintage at hand.

With his wife Pip and young family, Syrahmi now has a permanent home in Tooborac, where a close planted home block has been planted on deep veins of granite next to the winery as well as the small collection of wines made from fruit from Heathcote and Macedon Ranges.

2016 sees just the sixth edition of La La, this is Adam's hommage to Guigal’s famous wines La Mouline, La Turque and La Landonne –This is 100% whole bunch raised in all new oak for 36 months and now a further 4 years in bottle. A rich and powerful structure filled with black olive, dried herbs, salumi and smoked meats with a freshness and fine tannins bringing balance and length to one of Heathcote's grandest reds. A delicious investment for a worthy occasion
