S.C.PANNELL DEAD END TEMPRANILLO 2023

We are fortunate to work with clever growers who saw the potential of Iberian varieties in McLaren Vale long ago.

The vineyards we work with are now over twenty years old and prove themselves every year with consistent quality.

The flavours and balance in the fruit inspired us to further our pursuit of Tempranillo and to plant in our Koomilya vineyard at the 'Dead End' of Amery Rd. The vines are now eight years old and form a significant part of the final blend.Iberian varieties are ideally suited to the McLaren Vale climate and this wine continues to be a perfect example of what’s possible.

Tasting Note

Flavour

Always classic. Dark cherry compote, sarsaparilla, cola, red rocks, cassis, dried thyme, mace and charcuterie aromas, but wait, there's always more... sandalwood, rose petals and native florals that speak of Koomilya's influence, with a rousing thump of redness on the palate so typical of Tempranillo.

Texture

A quiet entry, no fanfare, subtle, still and silky but then, a vibration that builds, layers and scaffolds, leaving no corner of the palate untouched. More woodwind than brass, there is a
blast of richness that signals to the valleys of the back palate that flavour is on the way. A delicious melding of flavour and texture with a lingering finish. Classic!

Goes With

It never changes… the ideal tapas wine, cries out for Chorizo or paella.

Cellaring

We try to release in its prime but can be cellared further, try another 5-8 years
