Tasting Notes
An incredible bottling of Spinifex’ first ever Chenin Blanc. A seductive nose with polished stone fruits and and nuts on the nose. The palate is textural due to the lees work while maintaining a crisp acidity to support the weight. I tasted this in a lineup of some $100+ Loire Chenin and this did not look out of place - a great wine. - Aaron C.
Peter Schell and Magali Gely have had a home in the Barossa Valley for over twenty years and hold a strong commitment to and passion for the Barossa. They also have a strong French connection, both physically and philosophically. Magali's family, who up until recently were vignerons with a long lineage in Lunel, near Montpellier, still live in south west France, and over the last ten years Peter has worked six French vintages, in Provence, the Languedoc, Bordeaux and Burgundy. 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.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.
