Spinifex Chenin Blanc 2025 elephant-in-the-room choosing to topgraft in pursuitThis is just the third release of Spinifexs Chenin Blanc, but these vines have been around for almost a century. Pete and Magali have been working with the old bush vine Grenache and Shiraz from this ancient site in the Angaston foothills for well over 10 years, all the while eyeing an opportunity with the small Chenin block on the property. They harvested their first crop in 2022, and the wine is now a tenured addition to the Spinifex portfolio.
