S.C.PANNELL LITTLE BRANCH GRENACHE 2022

S.C.PANNELL LITTLE BRANCH GRENACHE 2022

We are the custodians of nine hectares in the heart of Blewitt Springs that we believe set a new standard for McLaren Vale Grenache. It's a bold claim, but we are excited by what we have seen.

This is the first single vineyard release from the Little Branch vineyard.

Tasting Note

Flavour

Spice from the start: cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, cassia then spun sugar, toffee apple and red fruits, now rose oil, leaf litter, cedar and red brick; aromas that sway and swirl. Bright red fruits dominate the palate before a zephyr of spice, and a finish laced with musk.

Texture

Suave, sophisticted and intellectual, turning it on before stealing your wallet, and yet, a yearning for more. Stealthy tannin hidden by complex flavours. The texture has a pink hue and slips past the front palate with barely a ripple before building quickly to the back and travelling on. Flavours and textures that stay with you long past the first sip.

Goes With

The protein is easy, but this match is all about the sauce. Try grilled ribeye or the Mushroom and Haloumi Stack with Red Wine Sauce from 'Meatsmith' by Andrew McConnell and Troy Wheeler.

Cellaring

The first vintage so we'll hedge our bets and say 10+ years.
