Spinifex Miette Shiraz 2021

Spinifex Miette Shiraz is a Barossa Shiraz built from five valley-floor vineyards and cooler high-country parcels.

Crumbs is what the name means, a reference to the offcuts this label was originally made from, though the fruit is now sourced deliberately. Ebenezer, Bethany, Tanunda and Moppa supply the core, all places with a long record for depth and structure in Shiraz, and Pete Schell blends in wine from the Barossa Ranges and Eden Valley to keep things fresh. Hand-picked grapes fermented wild in open-top steel and oak with roughly 20 per cent whole bunches, then the wine aged across French oak from 225 to 2,500 litres plus a little steel, going into bottle twenty months after vintage.

Medium-bodied and savoury, with dark cherry, mulberry, cracked pepper and dried herbs over fine tannin and fresh acidity. Serve at 16 to 17 degrees. Good with grilled lamb cutlets, a shepherd's pie, or roast vegetables and haloumi.
