Spinifex Barossa Rose 2009 won over James Halliday, leading Australian wine writer. In his 2011 Australian Wine Companion he had this to say about the Spinifex Rose 2009 “In inimitable Spinifex style, a bridge between Australia and the South of France (or even northern Spain); gentle red fruits are within a web of gossamer tannins and spice; very good balance and length. Outstanding Value Wine. 94 Points.”
