Spinifez La Maline 2022 (6 Bottles), Barossa Valley

As with the 2021, the extended growing season and comparatively cool conditions in 2022 provided fruit with the style, elegance and restraint so vital to this great wine’s DNA. The fruit fermented with indigenous yeasts in small, open-top stainless-steel tanks over 12 to 35 days. Maturation was in French oak barriques and 700-litre barrels (approximately 35% new) on light lees for 22 months before blending and bottling.
