S.C. Pannell, `The Vale` McLaren Vale Grenache/Shiraz
- Description
This Grenache Shiraz blend brings pure aromas and flavours of McLaren Vale, with layers of woody herbs, earth and iodine mingling with rich red fruits, dark chocolate and spice. The palate is medium-bodied, with the Grenache controlling the mid-palate exuberance of the Shiraz and providing great length on the finish.
Stephen Pannell is one of the best and brightest of the new generation of Australian winemakers, having spent a decade working as chief red wine maker at Hardys before striking out on his own in 2004. Steve has worked all over the world, including with Aldo Vajra in Barolo and for Domaine Dujac and Pousse d'Or. His broad experience has helped shape his approach to winemaking and his wines are true expressions of the grapes and vineyards of McLaren Vale. In October 2015, Steve was named Winemaker of the Year by the consumer wine magazine, Gourmet Traveller Wine.
Having made wine in McLaren Vale for many years, Stephen Pannell considers this Grenache Shiraz blend to perfectly capture the sense of place, or 'The Vale'. The Grenache came from 50-year-old vines in the west-facing 'Aldersey' vineyard, situated in the Seaview sub-region of McLaren Vale. The Shiraz came from 30-year-old vines in Steve's south-facing 'Koomilya' vineyard at Upper
Tintara, which boasts ironstone and rich siltstone soils and was originally planted by the Hardy family in the late 1800s.- Delivery & Returns
