The 2023 Spinifex Chardonnay is a refined cool-climate Chardonnay from the Adelaide Hills, South Australia, crafted with Spinifex's minimalist approach to express vineyard character. Whole-bunch pressed and fermented with wild yeasts before maturation in seasoned French oak, the wine opens with aromas of white peach, nectarine and lemon zest, complemented by subtle floral notes, toasted nuts and a fine mineral edge.

On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright natural acidity and a beautifully textured mouthfeel. Flavours of citrus, ripe stone fruit and grapefruit are layered with gentle lees complexity and restrained oak, leading to a long, fresh finish. The balance of fruit, acidity and mineral tension makes this an elegant and expressive Chardonnay.

Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy modern Australian Chardonnay with freshness, texture and finesse. Pair it with grilled prawns, roast chicken, creamy seafood pasta or soft cheeses. Enjoy now, or cellar for the next 5–8 years as it develops additional complexity.

About the region

South Australia · Adelaide Hills

South Australia grows more wine than any other Australian state, and its subregions behave almost like separate countries. Barossa and Eden Valley give Shiraz and Riesling, McLaren Vale leans to Grenache, Clare Valley to dry Riesling, Adelaide Hills to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and Coonawarra to Cabernet on red terra rossa soil. Strict quarantine has kept phylloxera out, so some vineyards still work vines planted in the nineteenth century.
