Spinifex Vermentino 2023 (6 Bottles), Barossa Valley

This is a terrific example of this variety, sourced from a one-acre vineyard on hard, ironstone-rich soil in one of the highest parts of Koonunga Hill in the Barossa’s extreme north. From a cool and long season, the palate is pithy and fresh, full of zip and with a breezy, grippy saline close. Schell enjoys the aromatic frequency, enhanced texture and the grip of skin contact that this 'carbo blanc' method brings to the wine.
