Peter Schell and Magali Galy have carved out quite a reputation for themselves. Having spent extended periods in the south of France, they developed an affection for the Rhône Valley and the grapes endemic to it.
Words from the distributor, Bibendum
In the glass, this has Pete Schell's signature all over it. Filled with intensity and bright aromatic lift, there's an array of earthy and savoury notes, all complimented by juicy and vibrant red and blue fruits. Clean acidity drives a plump mouthfeel while powdery tannins contribute sinewy structure.
Schell points out that the exuberance of Cinsault shines brightly here. Yet, as so often happens at this address, the whole package is greater than the sum of its parts: it's a fresh and bright wine with bags of energy and animated generosity. A Spinifex bistro classic is born.
