Spinifex Rose 2019
Add to cart$24.00in any six
$27.00 per single bottle
Barossa rose made with grenache, mataro and cinsault. Excellent rose. High drinkability, fair amount of texture, fruitiness, savouriness and more. Complex but not at the expense of straight-out more-ishness. Orange oil and redcurrant, pomegranate and woodspice. Such good mouthfeel, such good flavour. 94 points – Campbell Mattinson, The Winefront Click here for our full Spinifex […]

Spinifex Syrah 2018
Add to cart$26.00in any six
$28.00 per single bottle
Spinifex’s 2018 Syrah is Pete Schell’s higher-toned, more linear, red fruited and floral expression of the Barossa. It’s bursting with beautifully sculpted, racy, red-and-blackberry-fruit. A lifted rosehip note and some inky depths on the driven finish. Gets more and more perfumed and lively with air, it’s another terrific effort from one of Australia’s most gifted […]

Spinifex Papillon 2019
Add to cart$27.00in any six
$31.00 per single bottle
Pete Schell’s Papillon, ‘the butterfly’, was one of the first of the modern Barossa wines to show that ripeness and depth of flavour needn’t come at the expense of freshness and vineyard clarity. The 2019 remains at the very top of its game. Deliciously crunchy texture, cleansing acidity and savoury grip. All this is somehow […]

Spinifex Syrah 2019
Add to cart$27.00in any six
$31.00 per single bottle
Spinifex’s Syrah is Pete Schell’s take on a leaner, higher-toned expression of his adopted region. To this end, Schell sources from generally higher, cooler sites, where earlier harvesting gives wines with bright fruit expression and a textural freshness. The wine, naturally fermented with a judicious use of whole clusters (on average 30%) in a combination […]

Spinifex Riesling 2017
Add to cart$30.00in any six
$32.00 per single bottle
The mature (est. 1956) vineyard in Eden’s Flaxman Valley is around 4-hectares planted roughly to one-third Riesling and two-thirds Shiraz. Dry-grown, on poor soils (degraded, thin granitic sands), and at an altitude of 475 – 495 metres above sea level. All hand harvested at crazy-low yields for Riesling (0.8 tonnes per acre), 25% of the […]

Spinifex Aglianico 2017
Add to cart$30.00in any six
$32.00 per single bottle
Italianate scents of orange rind and Amaro combine with blackberry, blueberry and leather. The palate is vivid and sinewy, subtly perfumed with blue-black fruits tempered by stacked, ripe tannins and juicy freshness permeating through to the finish. Pete Schell’s Aglianico is drawn from vines rooted in the quartz shot clay and granite of Caj Amadio’s […]

Spinifex Riesling 2018
Add to cart$31.00in any six
$35.00 per single bottle
The 2018 Spinifex Riesling has real intensity, complexity and texture – characteristics of the vineyard’s concentrated, low yield fruit. This is a million miles away from the limey, stereotypical Australian Riesling. Instead you get preserved lemon, tonic water and notes of white peppery spice. There’s flesh but also plenty of acid and a twist of […]

Spinifex have made short work of the hot 2018 vintage with their Moppa Grenache. The best of both worlds, full bodied Barossa Grenache, but packed with freshness and spice. Red fruits mainly. Cherry, cranberry, rhubarb and plum, and into the swirling mix, five spice. Beautiful, tangy freshness and long fine tannins. Click here for our […]

Spinifex Moppa Shiraz 2018
Add to cart$43.00in any six
$48.00 per single bottle
The 2018 Moppa Shiraz from Spinifex is a deep, dark ruby colour. Aromatically complex, high-toned liquored cherry, ripe mulberry and Crème de Cassis fruit aromas overlay sandalwood, cardamom, star anise spice and deeper wood ash and leather notes. Fresh, medium weight but still very primary. Bright nervy red and black berry fruits, ink and cedar […]

Spinifex Indigene 2016
Add to cart$56.00in any six
$65.00 per single bottle
Deep crimson-purple. Clearly the best of the three very good ’16 Spinifex Shirazs, all making light of a vintage that had a few challenges, and also reflecting the old vines. It effortlessly moves along a bouquet and palate that are supremely elegant, complexity so deeply seated and balanced you barely notice it until the time […]

$68.00 per single bottle
Sourced from dry grown Shiraz (63%) and Mataro (37%) from vineyards located in Moppa, Ebenezer and High Eden. Richly proportioned and luxurious, but the 30% whole bunches add sleek spicy freshness. Hugely complex, with spicy oak, dark cacao, plum, blackcurrant, blueberry, red cherry. Fabulous mouth feel, really coating and persistent. There’s largeness, but this is […]

Spinifex La Maline 2016
Add to cart$65.00in any six
$74.00 per single bottle
Co-fermented shiraz viognier. The colour is deep purple-crimson. Richly robed in the folds of deeply coloured velvet, its colour, bouquet and palate all contributing. The fusion of fruit, tannin and spice is superb; all the flavours one could wish for; the tactile mouthfeel likewise. Masterful winemaking. 97 points, Halliday Wine Companion 2020 By design, La […]

$75.00 per single bottle
Lovers of this Barossan specialty should certainly clear some room on their wine list for the Spinifex Louis! Those who don’t normally go for sparkling reds should give this a go too! Super complex, it reminds me of the best sparkling reds of yesteryear. Notes of iodine and game with hints of old leather and […]

This limited release is sourced from an ancient Shiraz vineyard located on the outskirts of Nuriootpa. Planted sometime between 1910 and 1920 and growing in deep sandy loam over clay, this vineyard has long been held to produce archetypal, powerful Barossa Shiraz. Picked relatively early and fermented 30% as whole bunches. This has tempered this […]

Spinifex La Maline 2018
Add to cart$70.00in any six
$80.00 per single bottle
Super shiraz. Powerfully fruited but soft through the palate and, importantly, spread widely with tannin. A few sips and the word complete came to mind. Berries, earth, woodsmoke, peppercorns and toast. Viognier adds brightness and texture more than it does flavour, though it is (just) detectable. This feels like an outstanding wine at all points […]
