2022 Spinifex Indigene

Spinifex has helped redefine the modern Barossa Valley.

Winemaker Peter Schell is a master blender, constantly searching for balance and a more refined vision of the Barossa.

The Indigene is a classic Rhone Valley blend of Shiraz & Mataro , sourced from their oldest dry grown vineyards in the Ebenezer, Moppa and Eastern foothills regions of the Barossa.

It's a powerful yet elegant beast, showing all the intensity and gravitas of an old-vine Barossa red but with the Spinifex finesse.

It's wines like this that have built Peter Schell's reputation as one of the finest winemakers in the region.

"A blend of 90/10% mataro/shiraz from the Vinehaven and Rocky Valley vineyards. This smells glorious. Uber-pure satsuma plum, blueberry and black cherry fruits cut with hints of exotic spice, créme de cassis, tobacco, purple floral tones, bay leaf, olive tapenade, graphite and earth. The fruit is the star here; perfectly poised and harmonious, it melds with silty-fine tannins, with a red apple skin acidity on the fade out. Superb."
