2023 Spinifex Rose, Barossa Valley

Delicate salmon hued. Refined aromatic fruit nose of pink grapefruit, just ripe nectarine, tart strawberry, yellow rose petals and dried provincial herbs. Fresh and delicate on the palate with pure but discrete flavors of freshly cut strawberry whites, tart red currant, wet river stone and fresh chervil.

The fruit was all hand-picked and chilled overnight before crushed bunches were macerated for between six and 24 hours before pressing. The wine was wild fermented mainly in tank (with five per cent fermented and aged in old French oak demi-muids) and matured on lees prior to being bottled.
