Spinifex 'Garcon' Grenache 2022

The winemaker is Pete Schel and he is one of Australia's best.  He was crowned Young Gun of Wine in 2008 and was a finalist for Gourmet Traveller Winemaker of the Year last year.  Countless articles have been published ever since, just like this:

"Pete (Schell) and his partner Magali Gely operate what I think is the best new-wave of small-scale Barossa wine companies to emerge at the beginning of the 21st century… These weren’t big, blockbuster, showy wines designed to impress. They were wines that managed to take the best of the Barossa’s sometimes forgotten varietal traditions and fuse them onto a very European flavour sensibility." Max Allen, The Future Makers

Celebrating the great heritage of Barossa Valley Grenache, Pete Schell has sourced from three dry-grown, old-vine parcels for this wine: one in the extreme west at Moppa (55 years old); one in northern Barossa at Ebenezer (90 years old); and one in Bethany in the east (85 years old).
