Spinifex 'Garcon' Grenache 2022
Wines taste best when shared with friends!
Celebrating the legacy of Barossa Valley Grenache, Pete Schell sources this wine from four dry-grown, old-vine parcels in the Barossa Valley with vine ages ranging from 35-100 years.
The winemaking was very much in the traditional Spinifex mould: slow, natural fermentations with gentle pump-overs and foot-stomping. With a focus on freshness and drinkability allied to a supple core of Barossan generosity and depth of flavour, the 2021 Garçon was crafted with 40% whole bunches and fermentations took place in stainless steel and concrete. Bottled unfined and without filtration, eight months after harvest.
"Grenache sourced from the Barossa's west (Moppa), north (Ebenezer) and east (Bethany). I really like this nimble, beautifully detailed little grenache. It's packed with ripe raspberry, red apple, redcurrant and cranberry fruit tones with exotic spice, gingerbread, earth, red plum and rose petals. Light, airy and sapid with a glorious, saliva-inducing sour cherry acid line and an effortless drinkability." 95pts | Dave Brooks | Halliday Wine Companion
