Spinifex Wines La Cigale 2022 (6 Bottles) Barossa Valley, Australia

$171.00

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

La Cigale is a blend of 37% Mataro, 31% Cinsault, 20% Grenache and 12% Shiraz. The Cinsault was sourced from an old block in Bethany with 40- to 50-year-old vines, the Mataro from two blocks in Ebenezer in the northern part of the Barossa (the older site with vines over 40 years of age). The Shiraz is from Altona in Southern Barossa (with 30-year-old vines and deep gravelly sand), and the Grenache component is from Pete’s usual sources for the Garçon Grenache: old, dry-grown vines, also grown in the Barossa’s deep, coarse, sandy soil.

Wine Making Process at Spinifex Wines

Time spent in the south of France has fuelled their interest in making unique, hand crafted wines with personality, which are generous and honest expressions of the varieties and their provenance.

Spinifex Wines grapes are sourced from a group of dedicated growers in both the Barossa and Eden Valleys, taking advantage of the great diversity of the soils and meso-climates of the Barossa to create wines with balance, character, depth of flavour and Barossan generosity.

Fine Wine Cellars

On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
