Spinifex’s 3.5-acre Moppa Shiraz source is in an elevated zone in the northwest, a site which has been producing exceptional Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro for Spinifex since 2005. Although the exact age of the vineyard is unknown, it is thought to be at least 80 years old. It has been managed organically for 40 of those years by a unique vigneron who grew up on the block and has the utmost respect for his vines.
The result is a whole lot of wine for your money. Restrained Barossa power is balanced by perfectly pitched weight, structure, acidity and an incredibly persistent finish. It’s rich, deep, and a wee bit boisterous with abundant and complex flavours, seductive appeal and signature Spinifex balance. Modern Barossa at its best.
“Ink black core to a deep purple rim. Blood plum, ironstone and crushed violets on the nose. Dense, powerful and driven, dark fruits and black pepper spices all singing across the palate with fine gravelly tannins ensuring it doesn’t fall away. Great length, poised and detailed into the finish.” 95pts | Stuart Knox | The Real Review
“Dang! Look at that colour. Saturated magenta/crimson with fruit characters of blackberry, cherry liqueur and blueberry along with hints of dark spice, amaro, violets, dried meats, licorice, sandalwood, leather and vanilla. There is a real succulence to the fruit here, super pure and expressive, tending to savoury as those chalky tannins embrace the black fruits and driving on for some time on the finish. North-western Barossa sense of compression at its finest.” 96pts | Dave Brookes | Halliday Wine Companion
