Spinifex Vermentino 2023

Sourced from a one-acre vineyard on hard, ironstone-rich soil in one of the highest parts of Koonunga Hill in the Barossa’s extreme north. Vermentino is a rugged, hardy variety that Pete Schell says ripens relatively slowly here, retaining acidity while delivering generous texture. Fermented wild after six hours on skins, it's a pure and textured Barossa white with waxy lemon, white blossoms and a touch of chalkiness. 
“This throws a bloom of scent and flavour. It’s unreasonably delicious. Bunches of flowers, custard powder, citrus, brine and stonefruit. Texture that seems to lift right out from the fruit. As they say in the classics: yes plus.”
