Spinifex’s Bête Noir Shiraz is a refined, medium-bodied Barossa classic crafted by Pete Schell, blending old-vine fruit from both Barossa and Eden Valley sites aged 25 to 110 years. Sourced from six small parcels across Moppa, High Eden, Light Pass, and the Eastern Foothills, the grapes undergo 35% whole cluster fermentation and 20 months aging in 35% new French oak and larger barrels, balancing richness with elegance. The wine reveals aromas of blackberry, red plum, and dried herbs, layered with savory spice and silky tannins, reflecting a modern yet old-world style reminiscent of 1970s Barossa Shiraz. Balanced and expressive, this complex wine pairs beautifully with food or can be cellared to develop further nuance.
