Spinifex Moppa Shiraz from Spinifex Wines in Barossa Valley’s elevated northwest Moppa highland roars with 80-year-old organic vine power, Pete Schell’s broody beast from ancient sandy clay unleashing exotic spice and dark fruit ferocity that captures elevated terroir thrill in every compelling glass.

High-toned pepper, vermouth herbs and iodine collide with liquored cherry, blackberry, peat smoke, sandalwood and star anise across full yet compact palate of tart dark plum, cassis, black tea and bitter chocolate. The Spinifex Moppa Shiraz pulses with slatey tannins and fresh drive.

Pair Spinifex Moppa Shiraz with roast beef, wild boar or smoked cheddar to ignite its spicy fruit depth and earthy persistence. This classic Barossa heavyweight demands decanting and cellar space now.
