SC PANNELL LITTLE BRANCH GRENACHE 2022

Style: Savoury & Detailed

Established in 2004, S.C. Pannell is a celebration of Stephen and Fiona Pannell¿s adopted region of McLaren Vale. Influenced by Stephen¿s experience as Chief Red Winemaker at BRL Hardy, McLaren Vale was to prove the place from which the S.C. Pannell story began. Through his tenures at some of the leading family estates of Bordeaux, Burgundy, Barolo and Priorat, Stephen has heralded a pathway for Mediterranean varieties daring to create wines that challenge the norm of the |Vale and beyond.

This is an impactful grenache made by somebody who prizes Italian wines. The tannins are an immense force field, with kirsch, strawberries and dried Mediterranean herbs, and a note of almond husk that gives noble bitterness. The density, poise and grace are thoroughly impressive. This is a structured grenache built for the cellar. Drinkable now, but best from 2027. (97) NED GOODWIN MW
