Description
The 2024 Spinifex Rosé is yet another benchmark release from Pete Schell, a winemaker who treats rosé with the same precision and intention as his finest reds. This Provençal-inspired beauty blends Grenache (62%) and Mataro (38%) from four dry-grown sites across Angaston, Ebenezer, Vine Vale, and Bethany in the Barossa, with vines ranging from 25 to 90 years old.
Each parcel was treated with care, spending two to six hours on skins before being gently pressed to tank for fermentation. A small portion underwent malolactic fermentation, and the wine matured on lees in tank for six months, building texture and complexity while retaining its vibrant, refreshing character.
The result is a rosé that’s full of energy and finesse. Expect notes of wild strawberries, pink grapefruit, and a subtle savoury herb edge. The palate is bright and crisp, with crunchy acidity, a silky texture, and a clean, dry finish that makes it impossible to resist another sip.
A standout example of Australian rosé that channels the elegance of Provence while showcasing the depth and character of Barossa fruit. Perfect for long lunches, alfresco dinners, or simply when you want a wine that’s as serious as it is easy to love.
