    • Description

      Known for their attention to detail, hands on winemaking and precision for blending their wines are all about finesse and complexity. Made from the same parcels of fruit that go into the Spinifex wines, Miette is made in a more forward, open style meaning they are approachable right now!  As winemaker Pete Schell says .. “the wines are all about freshness, purity and balance. Wines made for food, family and friends.”

      The inaugural Miette Mataro showcases the more elegant side of this variety.  Fruit for this comes from select old vines in Kalimna and Tabor, east of Tanunda and is used in Spinifex’s flag ship Mataro, Tabor.  Lovely savoury notes here .. . aniseed and red fruits.  Deliciously smooth and vibrant sweet/savoury cherry and plum fruit, and long finish.  Delivers so much for the price.

    Spinifex Wines

    In the early 1900’s, Peter Schell and his wife, Magali Gely came to Australia from New Zealand to study oenology and marketing at Roseworthy College. They have lived in the Barossa Valley for over 20 years and founded Spinifex in 2001. They both have a strong French connection and spent a while in the south of France, where they became even more interested in making unique, hand crafted wines with personality.

    The focal point at Spinifex is the red varieties such as Mataro, Grenache, Shiraz and Cinsaut which dominate in the south of France. The wine is made in open fermenters, basket-pressed, with homegrown fermentations, and relatively long post-ferment maceration. The current wines are great and the best so far to come from this producer.

    Grapes are collected from 50 to 120 year old, low yielding vineyards in both the Barossa and Eden Valleys, which take advantage of the great diversity of the soils and meso-climates in the area to produce wines with balance, character, depth of flavour and Barossan generosity.
