Super light, almost Pinot-esque example of Grenache from biodynamic vines in the Barossa Valley.

Vital, youthful and vigorous. Joven-style Tempranillo with bright, punchy fruit aromatics of damson plum and mulberry that sit above darker dried herb and wood smoke notes. Mid-weight palate with lively red berry and tart stone fruit flavours that mesh with nervy, bright fruit acids and light, snappy tannins. Harvested from a single, elevated vineyard in the southern Barossa foothills. Handpicked early in the season to capture lively fruit and retain natural fruit acids, selected bunches were fully destemmed prior to fermentation in a small open fermenter. The young wine was allowed to mature on its lees for six months prior to bottling without filtration. Spinifex was started in 2001 with the opportunity to source some great old vine Mataro growing in deep white drift-sand on the Barossa Valleys Western Ridge. Owned by husband and wife team, Peter Schell and Magali Gely, their focus is on regional wines from the traditional Mediterranean grape varieties that have been grown successfully in Australia for over 150 years - Shiraz, Mataro, Grenache, Cinsault, Carignan, Ugni Blanc, Grenache Gris, Marsanne and Semillon. They aim to make wines that display signatures of vineyard provenance and vintage, show regional typicity and have a consistent thread of 'house style' that reflects their preferences and experiences with wine. The wines they choose to make are predominately blends, the synergies derived from blending wines of differing character enhance the subtle complexities, even textures and profound personalities delivered from great old vine vineyards.

Spinifex Esprit is a Grenache Mataro blend that has a vibrant, youthful and fresh palate driven by a tangy herb infused line of red fruit red currant, sour red plum, pomegranate and marjoram that gains warmth and depth turning to tobacco, game, cedar and darker fruit to close. Pulpy, fleshy fruit is drawn long with plum skin acids and stony tannins.

A myriad of mulberry, wild thyme and enticing savoury undertones are interwoven with layers of ripe summer berries. The palate displays both generosity and restraint, with plump and supple tannins that are supported by an amalgam of summer ripened plums.

Glaetzer The Bishop Shiraz, Barossa Valley Bishop is the family name of Colin's wife' Judith.

Exceptional old vine fruit was sourced from the famed Ebenezer sub-district at the northern tip of the Barossa Valley. Vine age 35120 years old. Yield 3 tonnes per hectare.

A bright and playful nose, opening with spiced red cherry, red licorice, briar berries and cola. The palate is all supple tannins with perky fruit flavour. Soft, juicy and delicious.

Cherry red in then glass. Lifted dark fruits with savoury nuances, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), and tarragon create a complex aromatic profile that distinctly showcases Moppa characteristics. Rich and powerful for a Grenache, the fruit spectrum showcases black cherry and plum, gliding effortlessly with a succulent natural acid drive. Oak flavours remain in the background, adding texture and creaminess. As with all Moppa wines, the ripe tannin profile adds structure and richness, providing a strong yet refined backbone. The addition of 5% Mataro further enhances the complexity with notes of bitter chocolate and smoked meat. A captivating wine that will improve with bottle age.
