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.”
Miette is the French word for crumbs, and while this label started its life crafted from the (delicious) off-cuts that fell from Spinifex’s top table, today the wine is made from fruit sourced specifically for this wine.
From one of the Barossa’s most thoughtful producers, the Miette Shiraz reflects Pete Schell’s pursuit of balance and site expression over sheer power. Fruit is sourced from select growers across the valley, capturing both regional generosity and the freshness that defines the Spinifex style.
The 2022 release is vibrant and supple, opening with aromas of blackberry, mulberry, and violet alongside hints of pepper and dark cocoa. The palate is medium-bodied and polished, framed by fine tannins and a gentle acidity that keeps the fruit lively. Poised and approachable, it carries the hallmark elegance and drinkability that make Spinifex a standout in the modern Barossa landscape.
Review for 2021 – 90 points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front “There’s a good body flavour to be tucked into here. It’s sweet fruited, all raspberry and plum, with clove and general spice notes tickling about the edges. It’s ripe/sweet and generally pretty simple but it has good, flow, feel and stuffing.”
