Spinifex Bête Noir Syrah 2022

It's a difficult line to toe in Barossa, to balance plush Barossan character with high toned fruit and textural freshness. Winemaker Pete Schell seems to have it figured out though.

Spinifex La Cigale 2022

Pete Schell, winemaker at Spinifex, took one look at the 'more is more' mentality of the Barossa Valley and knew it wasn't for him. His pared back, modern style makes for unpretentious and highly drinkable wines. Take the La Cigale, for example, dark fruited and savoury, with Provençal notes of blood plums, redcurrant and fresh rosemary.

Spinifex Rosé 2024

If you're worried that a rosé from the Barossa is going to be as hot and heavy as many of the reds are, let us put your mind at ease. Spinifex has crafted a rosé just as crisp and refreshing as any good Provençal rosé. Bright scents of pink grapefruit zest upfront, the palate is refreshingly mineral, with a Campari-orange bitterness to the finish.
