Spinifex Lola 2021

Spinifex Lola is an unconventional Barossa white blend of Semillon, Clairette, Ugni Blanc and Vermentino.

Of all the whites coming out of this cellar, this is the original and arguably the most layered. Semillon leads again, drawn from three old-vine Ebenezer sites aged 65, 75 and 95 years; the grape has been in the Barossa since the 1850s. Clairette from a high Rowland Flat block on the valley's eastern side ripens late and holds its acid, which brings the freshness, while Ugni Blanc and Vermentino add texture and a lick of salinity. Careful vineyard work and a restrained hand in the shed have done the rest, with maturation on lees in mostly older wood.

Fleshy and textured, with stone fruit, citrus, spice and lovely hay and talc characters, phenolic tension underneath and a long savoury finish. Serve at 11 to 12 degrees. Roast chicken, pork belly, or a bowl of clams and parsley.
