Read MoreThe approach behind Spinifex Shiraz is simple: let the vineyard speak. Working with low-yielding, dry-grown vineyards across Barossa and Eden, the winery avoids overt oak and heavy extraction, instead focusing on detail, structure and aromatic purity. Grapes are often co-fermented with varietals such as Mataro or Grenache, a nod to Rhône traditions and a method that brings complexity and finesse. Fermentations are wild, with gentle handling and minimal additions, allowing the wines to evolve naturally and reflect their origins with clarity.
Each wine under the Spinifex Shiraz label showcases a slightly different interpretation of Barossa and Eden Valley Shiraz. While rooted in regional identity, no two wines are the same. Some lean into structure and dark fruit, while others are layered with spice, mineral tension, and floral lift.
Sourced from the Moppa sub-region in the north-western Barossa, this single-origin Shiraz offers an intense yet controlled palate. The Spinifex Moppa Shiraz 2022vintage is concentrated and fragrant, delivering dark berries, baking spices, graphite and dried herbs. Aged in seasoned oak to preserve its vineyard character, this is a serious Barossa Shiraz; structured, poised, and built to reward mid-term cellaring. It’s a natural fit for braised beef, lamb shoulder or hard cheeses.
While not strictly a Shiraz, this blend offers a vibrant look at how Shiraz complements Rhône varietals. The Spinifex Esprit Grenache Mataro Shiraz 2022 combines Grenache’s brightness, Mataro’s earthiness, and Shiraz’s depth in a seamless, medium-bodied wine. Expect a palate of wild berries, spice and gentle tannins—ideal for charcuterie, roast chicken or ratatouille.
Whether you're planning a dinner, building a cellar, or looking for something distinctive to gift, Spinifex Shiraz offers plenty of choice. For a bold, structured option, Moppa Shiraz pairs well with richer dishes and deserves a decanter. For those after a more aromatic, medium-bodied style, the Esprit blend delivers lift and spice, suited to Mediterranean food or cooler evenings. Mietta, with its deep profile and proven cellaring potential, is best reserved for special occasions or contemplative sipping.

Spinifex crafts small-batch wines with a focus on site expression and balance. Their Shiraz blends traditional Rhône methods with Barossa and Eden Valley fruit, resulting in layered, restrained wines with real personality.
Spinifex offers both single-site Shiraz (like Moppa) and Shiraz-dominant blends (like Esprit and Mietta), ranging from structured and bold to medium-bodied and aromatic.
Serve at 16–18°C. Decant the more structured wines, such as Moppa or Mietta, for 30–60 minutes. Lighter styles like Esprit benefit from a brief aeration but can be enjoyed straight from the bottle.
Pair richer Shiraz with grilled meats, slow-roasted lamb or game. Lighter blends complement dishes like charcuterie, herb-roasted chicken or spiced vegetable stews.
Yes. Spinifex Shiraz is a refined and thoughtful gift, particularly for those who appreciate artisanal wine. Cloudwine offers reliable delivery and careful packaging for gifting across Australia.
