2022 Spinifex Sol Solice Grenache

The 2022 Spinifex Sol Solice Grenache is a beautifully composed Barossa Valley Grenache that highlights the variety’s finesse, perfume and site expression. Crafted from old vines and handled with a gentle, minimal intervention approach, this wine emphasizes purity, texture and aromatic complexity over power. The nose is highly perfumed and lifted, revealing red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, layered with rose petal, dried herbs and exotic spice. There is a refined savoury edge with hints of earth, mineral and subtle whole-bunch character, adding depth and intrigue.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied with silky, fine-grained tannins and bright natural acidity that gives the wine energy and precision. The red fruit profile is vibrant and detailed, supported by spice, herbal and earthy nuances. The structure is elegant and flowing, leading to a long, fragrant and persistent finish.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout modern Grenache, leaning toward a Rhône-inspired style with emphasis on perfume, finesse and drinkability. Compared to heavier, more extracted Grenache, it offers lift, purity and balance, making it highly versatile. Enjoy now or cellar through 2034+ as it develops further complexity. Perfect with lamb, grilled meats, charcuterie or Mediterranean-style dishes.
