{"product_id":"spinifex-bete-noir-2023","title":"Spinifex Bete Noir 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eA bête noire is the bane of one’s existence, an apt reference to the multitude of small parcels that go into this blend. Pete Schell’s ‘23 is a blend of old-vine Shiraz from the Barossa and Eden valleys, specifically, six different parcels from the sub-regions of Moppa, High Eden, Light Pass and the Eastern Foothills. Soils vary across the sites, from thin, skeletal sandy loams in the loftier plots to the classic sand-over-red-clay in the Moppa and Light Pass regions. Vineyard age ranges between 25 and 110 years, with “45 years being a fair average across the blend”, Schell reckons. So, 100% old-vine Shiraz from a great vintage in the hands of a master blender. Wonder how this is going to turn out… \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspired by the classically styled Barossa reds from the 1970s and ’80s (bottles plundered from friends’ parents’ cellars), it’s a refined, medium-bodied, detailed and aromatic wine. The old-world feel is strong with this one. An incredible bargain, as usual. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spinifex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48866963488996,"sku":"26139-750","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/2575\/3828\/files\/0ae3dab2-5347-f111-ac45-0a257dfb1f4f_26139-750.png?v=1777864061","url":"https:\/\/www.internationalfinewines.com.au\/products\/spinifex-bete-noir-2023","provider":"International Fine Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
