Details
Peter Schell is a young legend-in-the-making in the Barossa Valley. Making wine under the Spinifex label for 15 years now, the wines just keep getting better. This rosé is all you desire and need – crunchy fruit, tangy acidty, plenty of red fruit flavour from the ancient Grenache vines that contribute the majority of the fruit to the wine, and a thirst-slaking finish. A gentle use of old oak barrels adds depth and interest to the middle palate, so not short of complexity either. In a word – ripper. Charcuterie time. Rosé is an underrated match for all you lazy Sunday afternoon antipasto sessions - this rosé will go perfectly with the saltiness of the cured meats.

The Barossa valley stalwart, Spinifex, may be slightly more well know than our usual producers, but it’s our promise to bring you our absolute favourite and this is definitely the case with this bottle of rosé. And although the brand is becoming more well know, the winery is still very much a small batch affair. Run by Peter Schell and Magali Gely, for have made the Barossa Valley their home for the past 20 years. And I guess you could say Magali was born to make wine… her family hails from a village near Montpellier in France and has been growing wine for more than ten generations. Peter has been trying to catch up with Magali’s inherent wine knowledge by learning from the best winemaker from New Zealand to Burgundy.
