Delighted to finally be listing these wines from Stephen Pannell.
The Grenache vineyards are on deep sand with a north-westerly exposure and are simply managed, without pesticides, to ensure the optimal expression of the fruit.
The vines are over 73 years old!
The Shiraz is from the Blewitt Springs vineyard that is 43 years old and lies on very similar soils to the Grenache. Deep sandy soils encourage a larger root system, which safeguards the vine against extreme weather conditions. The Touriga fruit is sourced from a 10 year old block in Langhorne Creek. All in all pretty cool stuff.
A vibrant juicy soft approachable red, raspberry and darker fruits on the nose and palate, medium bodied. The wine is neither fined or filtered prior to bottling to leave as much natural goodness in there! You beauty! 14% vol.
