S.C.PANNELL BASSO GARNACHA 2023 (New Release)

S.C.PANNELL BASSO GARNACHA 2023 (New Release)

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

Pommegranate, boysenberry, raspberry, cherry, liquorice, musk lollies and exotic fenugreek aromas and flavours to match. The finish has a persistent raspberry jelly-crystal and pommegranate Turkish-delight flavour that is so appealing. Gateway Grenache ready for willing explorers.

Texture

There is volume and richness that speaks of luxury but this year there is an exotic layer of rose petal and pistachio flavour lying in the tannins. The texture is supple, long and unabashed
without being drying. Exotic, medium-bodied red wine from a warm region by the sea. Happy.

Goes With

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

Cellaring
