Description
Pete Schell has a knack for turning the unexpected into something special, and the 2024 Spinifex Clairette is no exception. Clairette, a Southern French white grape often found in Rhône blends, gets the solo spotlight here, and the result is a fresh, textural beauty that shows just how versatile Barossa whites can be.
The fruit comes from a single parcel of hardy vines in Rowland Flat, tucked into the elevated southern Barossa. Slow ripening allows the grapes to develop flavour while holding onto their natural acidity—a quality Pete loves in his wines. After a quick three-hour maceration, the fruit was pressed to tank for fermentation. No malolactic fermentation here—just 10 months on light lees to add a bit of texture and weight to the fresh, lively fruit.
It’s all about balance in the glass. Bright aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and a hint of fresh herbs set the stage, while the palate is vibrant and textural, with citrus and stone fruit flavours leading to a crisp, clean finish.
If you’re into whites with personality and a little edge, this is a brilliant choice for fans of textural whites or anyone ready to explore something different.
