Description
Second label from Barossan cult producer, Spinifex (included in Best Value Wineries for 2018 by James Halliday in his 2018 Australian Wine Companion). Renowned for their fastidious attention to detail, hands on winemaking and precision for blending… their wines are all about finesse and complexity. Made from the same parcels of fruit that go into the Spinifex wines, Miette is made in a more forward, open style meaning they are approachable right now! As winemaker Pete Schell says .. “the wines are all about freshness, purity and balance. Wines made for food, family and friends.”
A blend of Grenache 49%, Mataro 47% and Cinsault 4%, this great value is inspired by the country wines of Provence and the Languedoc. The seven small vineyards that contributed to the final blend are located in the eastern and southern stretches of the Barossa, soils are generally sand and sandy loams, and the vines are aged between 40 and 70 years. All vineyards were hand-harvested, around 30% of the Grenache was left as whole bunches, the balance all destemmed, and the fruit allowed to ferment naturally in open fermenters. Élevage was undertaken on light lees, in 2300-litre foudres and stainless steel prior to racking, blending and bottling without filtration. The delicate red fruits of the Grenache, the spice, flesh and nutty tannin of the Mataro, both find their place in this fragrant, gluggable wine.
