S.C.PANNELL GRENACHE SHIRAZ TOURIGA 2023

S.C.PANNELL GRENACHE SHIRAZ TOURIGA 2023

The 'Purple One’ is our all-rounder: anywhere, anytime with anything. A wine that comes from our amazingly textured McLaren Vale landscape representing the diversity possible of blended red wine. 

The climatic suitability of both Grenache and Touriga to the South Australian climate means fewer inputs required in the winery delivering wines with amazing depth, complexity, and flavour. Grenache brings lifted aromatics and its trademark sandy tannins. Shiraz chimes in with red fruits, spice, and weight, whilst the Touriga Nacional adds punchy plum pudding, dried spice and florals. The resultant wine is so much more than just the sum of its parts and is always irresistible.

Tasting Note

Flavour

Lavender, lilac, luxury and liquorice aromas pummel the senses in a Touriga force blast that clears the way for panforte and marzipan before Grenache takes back control and presents pomegranate Turkish delight, raspberry, red plums and musk. Shiraz barely gets a mention on the palate but maybe it’s there in the dark fruit providing the bass notes to all that red fruited deliciousness. There is a timeless character to the GST that has evolved and continues to impress.

Texture

A lovely flow that is seamless, plush and generous like a set of precious velvet curtains. The textures are mouth filling and over deliver with flavours of violet and Frutto di Bosco. There’s perfume on the finish and tannins that restrain and shape the fruit weight adding a savoury nib to the length. Dexterous, light fruited, pretty and graceful.

Goes With

A Swiss army wine, drink it with everything. But, we suggest you try Polpette al Sugo in The Eternal City: recipes and stories from Rome by Maria Pasquale

Cellaring

No waiting necessary, but if you must, give it 10 years in a cool cellar.
