Tasting Notes

This highland vineyard in the northwest of the Barossa Valley has been producing exceptional Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro for Spinifex since 2005. Although the exact age of the vineyard is unknown, it is thought to be at least 80 years old. For the last 40 years, it has been managed organically by the grower who grew up on the block and clearly has the utmost respect for his vines. Again, Pete Schell’s mastery of balance is on full display here. How does he do it? Tamed Barossa power is countered by pitch-perfect weight, refined structure and acidity and a lingering, flavour-drenched finish. Some 30% bunches add to the attractive spice, and long aging in French puncheons and barriques has given long, pliant tannins to frame the fantastic quality of pure, juicy black fruit. This is stellar stuff from Spinifex—modern Barossa at its very finest.
