Spinifex Wines, located in the Barossa Valley marries the essence of its Australian home with a touch of French flair. Founded by Peter Schell and Magali Gely, their winery reflects over two decades of a shared winemaking vision, deeply rooted in both the Barossa and southern France. This fusion is evident in their wines, which are celebrated for their authenticity, balance, and the true Barossan character, thanks to grapes from the diverse soils of the Barossa and Eden Valleys.
Aiming to create wines that truly represent their origins and the unique character of each vintage, Schell and Gely have carved out a distinctive ‘house style’ that has positioned Peter as a forward-thinking winemaker known for his wines’ authenticity and distinct identity. The Spinifex range, including favourites like Lola, Riesling, Rosé, Esprit, and Indigene, demonstrates the Barossa Valley’s potential for producing varied and complex wines, appealing to both enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike.
