The 2025 Spinifex Papillon is a medium-bodied blend led by Grenache with complementary portions of Shiraz and Mourvèdre, sourced from mature vineyards across the Barossa and Eden Valleys. The wine takes its name from the French word for butterfly, a reflection of its aromatic lightness and graceful structure rather than sheer weight. In the glass, Papillon shows an expressive yet composed personality, where bright red fruits are layered with spice and savoury nuance. Spinifex’s philosophy of minimal intervention and gentle extraction allows freshness and vineyard character to remain front and centre. The 2025 vintage benefits from balanced growing conditions, delivering clarity of fruit and finely tuned acidity. Tannins are supple and integrated, giving shape without heaviness and encouraging immediate enjoyment. There is a sense of movement and energy through the palate, underpinned by subtle complexity rather than power. This is a refined, food-friendly Barossa red that highlights elegance and drinkability while remaining true to its regional roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1175\" data-end=\"1344\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1188\" data-end=\"1191\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1195\" data-end=\"1198\"\u003e– Fragrant and spicy\u003cbr data-start=\"1218\" data-end=\"1221\"\u003eAromas of red cherry, raspberry and cranberry layered with white pepper, dried herbs, floral notes and gentle earthy spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1346\" data-end=\"1523\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1355\"\u003e– Juicy and poised\u003cbr data-start=\"1373\" data-end=\"1376\"\u003eMedium-bodied with bright red fruit flavours, fresh acidity and soft, fine tannins, complemented by savoury spice and subtle Rhône-like complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1525\" data-end=\"1644\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1531\" data-end=\"1534\"\u003e– Fresh and balanced\u003cbr data-start=\"1554\" data-end=\"1557\"\u003eA clean, lively finish with lingering red fruit, gentle spice and a light savoury edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1646\" data-end=\"1873\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1665\" data-end=\"1668\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Perfumed and lively with red berries, spice and floral notes.
