S.C.PANNELL BASSO GARNACHA 2022

The idea for a low sulphur, unfiltered Grenache had been bubbling away for a few years and in 2017 access to the right fruit from an old dry-grown vineyard sparked the Basso project to life. From the Latin Bassus, meaning low, in reference to the minimal preservative used in the winemaking, enabling this precious variety to speak clearly of where it is grown.

Medium bodied, warm-climate red wines based on Grenache particularly from McLaren Vale have a well-deserved place on the tables of diners. They offer welcoming aromas and flavours, with a texture often described as European but proudly Australian. They match where and how we live and the food we love to cook and eat.

Tasting Note

Flavour

Dark plum, cocoa, clove and warm spice with kelp, rhubarb, boysenberry, red cherry preserve, and Jamon jumping around the glass and commanding attention. A sanguine, terracotta and petrichor frame supports a finish loaded with pomegranate and signature raspberry. Gateway Grenache ready for willing explorers.

Texture

There is volume and richness that speaks of luxury. The tannins crunch like apple skin inside a candy shell and coat the roof of the palate. Flavour derived from fruit but also seeds and stems makes the finish luscious and layered.

Goes With

Try Joseph Abboud’s Barbecue in his excellent book, Rumi – Food of Middle Eastern Appearance.

Cellaring

Will cellar but delicious now.
