About this Wine

Pete Schell's Miette wines represent sensational value and serve as a great introduction to the Spinifex range. This year’s Miette Rhône-style blend comprises Grenache (61%), Mourvèdre (32%) and Shiraz (7%) from five vineyards in the Barossa Valley. Vine age ranges from 25 to 115 years across the sites, and soils vary from deep sand in Vine Vale to the gravelly red earth of Moppa. The former brings aromatic lift and finesse, while the latter lends structure and power. It’s a wonderful combination.

The 2022 season was later than usual, and conditions were generally more moderate than the warm norm. Pete Schell fermented each batch separately in steel tanks, with an average of 20% bunches and the remainder destemmed berries. Maturation took place over 22 months in steel tanks, seasoned 2500-litre foudres and 700-litre demi-muids. As is the norm, this punches well above its weight considering the price: deep, juicy and savoury with fine structure, generous weight and persistent length. As classic as they come from Spinifex.

Barossa Valley Wine

The Barossa Valley wine region has historically and currently still is one of Australia's most prestigious premium wine producing regions. Located just 60km north east of Adelaide city centre, the climate there is very hot and dry which is perfect for the big bold reds the area is famous for.

A straight Shiraz is what Barossa is most well known for, however Rhone blends, such as Shiraz Cabernet are also very popular. While much less prevalent, white wines (Chardonnay, Riesling, Semillon) are planted on the higher altitude hillsides where the ocean breeze cools temperatures down to a level suitable for producing these varieties as well.

Some of Australia's earliest Shiraz plantings can be found here dating as far back as the 1850's. While not always a guarantee of quality, it might be worth seeking out and trying one of the region's "old vine shiraz" if you haven't yet.
