Notes
SPINIFEX INDIGENE SHIRAZ MATARO 2013: “Deep, complex and masculine aromatics. Higher-toned, dried dark cherry, blueberry, violet laced blackberry fruits, fresh bay leaf and pickled walnut rise over a darker core of suede, Indian ink, hardwoods, Brazil nut, coffee and boudin noir. Intense and concentrated, yet not expansive. Dark, savoury and saline elements find balance against fleshy, elemental fruit. Initially subjugated by the unresolved core of red and black fruits, stony acids and fine sandy tannins build to drive the finish, fresh and firm. The restrained complexity of old vineyards and the generosity given by the Barossa's ancient soils are both evident in equal measure.†Pete Schell, winemaker
