The fermentations are entirely natural and Graillot Jr. uses only a small whole-bunch component, usually in the realm of 20-30%.

To this end, Schell sources from 10 different plots throughout the Barossa and Eden Valleys from “...generally higher, cooler sites, where earlier harvesting gives wines with bright fruit expression and a textural freshness”. Vine ages vary from 25 to 100 years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eAs with most of his reds, Schell employed a range of techniques, with different proportions of whole-bunch, whole berry and destemmed fruit. The aim was for soft extraction, and the ferments were allowed to relax with little agitation. Pete sums up the reasoning behind his gentle approach simply: “it’s easier to over do it than under do it in the Barossa”. Short macerations were followed by ferments in stainless steel, concrete and mostly large, seasoned oak (only one new barrel was used). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eFrom a near-ideal growing season that served up even ripening, great flavours and very good natural acidity, Schell’s 2021 captures a moreish mix of spicy meatiness, elegance and succulence. Initial dark and broody notes give way to bright shining acidity, vibrancy and a sense of energy and tension. It’s imbued with terrific depth and fine, sinewy tannins that curl around the tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spinifex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43301789532398,"sku":"20151-750","price":18.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/7468\/3630\/files\/eeb9a13c-bfea-ee11-ac41-02c0c1c8e708_20151-750.png?v=1711382027"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.bibendum.com.au\/collections\/shiraz.oembed?page=9","provider":"Bibendum Wine Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
