$171.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

86% Grenache and 14% Cinsault.

Vibrant red purple colour with a light purple red hue. A fragrant bouquet of violets, red raspberries, cherries and red liquorice wafts from the glass followed by notions of clove and spicy earth.

Fresh and juicy the light to mid weighted palate is buzzing with delicious red raspberry, red cherry and red liquorice fruits. Polished tannins and lively acidity with subtle clove, earth and spice ascents flowing onto the back half. Finishes with a long bright red fruited aftertaste.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

This has bright fragrance with fresh and upbeat red berries, as well as bunchy, spicy kick. Super-fresh palate that has attractively defined tannins and very pure summer berries. Crunchy finish. A blend of grenache and cinsault. Drink now. Screw cap.

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.
