Hello Subscribers,
Two new releases from Spinifex and
a couple of their classic wines at some very special
prices... Since we last emailed you about these wines they
have continued to score massive accolades across the country
and we think for good reason. One of the better blends of
new world winemaking with old world, traditional guidelines.
Have a look below at what Halliday said about them!
Don't forget, all orders over $200 will
be sent freight free to anywhere in
Australia. To place an order or ask a question, simply reply
to this email or contact us here.

"Peter Schell and Magali Gely are a husband
and wife team from NZ who came to Australia in the early
1990s to study oenology and marketing respectively at
Roseworthy College. Together they have spent four vintages
making wine in France, mainly in the south where Magali’s
family were vignerons for generations near Montpellier. The
focus at Spinifex is the red varieties which dominate in the
south of France: mataro (more correctly mourvedre),
grenache, shiraz and cinsaut. The wine is made in open
fermenters, basket-pressed, partial wild (indigenous)
fermentations, and relatively long post-ferment maceration.
This is at once a very old approach, but nowadays? la mode.
The wines are made at Spinifex’s winery in Vine Vale, where
Peter also makes wines for a number of clients to whom he
consults. So far as I am concerned Spinifex out-Torbrecks
Torbreck. Exports to the UK, the US, Canada, Belgium, Taiwan
and Singapore."
