S.C.PANNELL MERRIVALE SHIRAZ 2022

S.C.PANNELL MERRIVALE SHIRAZ 2022

Single-block Shiraz with purity and finesse. Dark fruit coulis, black pepper, and midnight violets unfold into a beautifully balanced, midweight wine with no oak interference – just raw elegance and depth. A McLaren Vale Shiraz, reimagined.

The Vintage: Quality was good due to the long slow ripening period. Reds developed depth of flavour and complex tannins. A vintage to seek out and keep. 

Flavour Profile: Inviting dark flavours are the signature of this block. Black fruit coulis ready for ice cream. Dusty spice including black pepper, liquorice and midnight violets. Some shy citrus peel makes itself known on the appetising finish, bringing a beam of light to a dark soul. Midweighted, perfectly balanced, long finish. Once again a Mclaren Vale Shiraz without inhibition, set free from the shackles of Oak and additions.

Tasting Note

Flavour

Inviting dark flavours are the signature of this block. Black fruit coulis ready for ice cream. Dusty spice including black pepper, liquorice, star anise and dark cocoa followed by petrichor, and dirt roads lined with lavender and midnight violets. Some shy citrus peel makes itself known on the appetising finish, bringing a beam of bright light to a dark soul. There’s mystery here and an opening to Shiraz’s real persona without its usual mask.

Texture

A sweet core of dark fruit is a good match to the fine and persistent tannins that flow from start to finish. Mid-weighted, perfectly balanced, long finish; not too much to ask for really.
Once again a McLaren Vale Shiraz without inhibition, set free from the shackles of oak and additions.
