Spinifex Aglianico 2019

Pete Schell's Aglianico is drawn from vines rooted in the quartz clay and granite soils of Caj Amadio's vineyard near Kersbrook in the northern Adelaide Hills, at 300 metres above sea level. Aglianico is already a late-ripening variety, more so at this kind of altitude, and these are always Spinifex's last vines to be harvested. In fact, the 2021 are is was being picked Pete said, “Aglianico has shown a great affinity for this site with the fruit ripening very late, typically just before the break in the season, with deep flavours, fresh tannins and high natural acids.”
