About this Wine

The ’22 is the inaugural release of “Sol Solice”, a selection of our finest Grenache of the vintage and this year is a blend is sourced from two vineyards. We manage both vineyards with organic principles and is hand pruned, thinned, and harvested.
Ripe fruit aromatics of raspberry, ripe cherry, blueberry and plum – laced with delicate baking spice and dried rose petal high notes – sit over base aromas of dried fig, ink and prune. Full, strong palate – dark sour edged plum, prune and dark cherry fruits on attack are drawn to a firm, fine finish with lingering cherry pit and red plum skin acids and the deep, fleshy fruit is held in check by a strong measure of fine grained, compact tannin.

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.

Critic reviews

The Wine Front – "Smells exotic; is exotic. Orange peel and raspberry, cranberry and chalk, floral elements and roasted spice notes. It’s both pretty and substantial, juicy and taut. There’s something ultra pure about this wine; something special. Woodsmoke and earth notes rise as the wine breathes. Apart from many things else, it’s a gorgeous drink." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

James Halliday – "Grenache sourced from the high elevation of the Eden Valley and the Barossa Valley floor. An offering of the best grenache of the growing season, according to Peter Schell. Plenty of vibrant, aromatic fruit with juicy red plum, cranberry and mulberry fruits sheathed in gingery spice and hints of cola, earth, dried citrus rind, teacake, orange blossom, raspberry coulis and redcurrant paste. Firm, chalky tannin grip and a super lively, mineral-laden wine finishing juicy – just a pure, joyous rendition of the variety. A new wine for the crew from Spinifex and it is glorious drinking." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)
