S.C. Pannell Wines | Winery | Vineyard, Mclaren Vale, South Australia Wine Guide - WBTL
Steve Pannell’s background is as eclectic as his flagship range, which encompasses McLaren Vale stalwarts Grenache, Shiraz and Shiraz/Grenache but also an Adelaide Hills Nebbiolo. Pannell, a Western Australian, is the son of Dr Bill Pannell, founder of Margaret River’s MOSS WOOD and PICARDY WINES in Pemberton. However, he has avidly pursued winemaking opportunities elsewhere, notably spending 10 years at HARDYS, where he was chief red winemaker, but also working vintage at Domaine des COMTES LAFON in Burgundy, Château MOUTON ROTHSCHILD in Bordeaux and G.D. VAJRA in Barolo. In 2004, he struck out on his own and has fast established a reputation for wines that skilfully combine ripe fruit and tannins with a sense of place. Careful vineyard selection (Pannell owns neither vineyards nor winery) and hands off winemaking in open top fermenters with natural yeast, hand plunging, no acidification and minimal use of new oak results in food friendly wines of impeccable balance. The Shiraz Grenache, his strongest suit, is an elegant rendition of the blend with ample spice, ripe but present tannins and impressive freshness, even in difficult years like 2007 and 2008. A floral Grenache without an ounce of fat exemplifies Pannell’s take on this variety as “warm climate Pinot Noir.” The Shiraz shows similar restraint and line when compared with McLaren Vale’s traditional style, which is typified by a generous mid-palate. Though the Nebbiolo is widely regarded as Australia’s best, youthful plantings can only take you so far. At this price point while it shows good varietal character, not least quite stern tannins, it lacks the finesse of similarly priced Italian counterparts. Only time will tell if Pannell’s carefully selected new clones will reduce the gap. Aptly named entry level Pronto red and white are soft, exuberant but interesting blends, easier on both palate and pocket. In the works, a blend of Touriga Nacional and Tempranillo. (SA)

S C Pannell Overview
We were fortunate enough to have winemaking legend Steve Pannell of S.C. Pannell wines drop into Different Drop HQ and share some of his wisdom with us. Steve is constantly challenging the status quo with his thrilling wines, and this short interview gives a little insight into the genius at work!

2014 KOOMILYA SHIRAZ McLaren Vale, Australia
The members of Club Booze Hunter were lucky enough to receive a bottle of the 2014 Koomilya Shiraz, a passion project put together by Steven Pannell of S.C. Pannell.
As a result, Ed, a wine journalist and head of communications at Cellarhand (importer and distributor) laid down this video. Ed has both a mastery of the English language and a mastery of wine. He's a great guy telling the story behind the wine beautifully.
Below is Steve's (as his mates call him) bio and details about the wine. For what it's worth, Ed sums all this up beautifully in his video!
S.C.Pannell, the label, was established by Steve and wife Fiona in 2004. However, Steve's journey to winemaking dates back to 1969 where, as a toddler, he grew up on one of Australia's most iconic boutique wineries, Moss Wood in the Margaret River. Since, Stephen’s extensive winemaking knowledge and experience has been garnered over years working with some of the world’s most prestigious wineries. He was Chief Red Winemaker at BRL Hardy from 1999 to 2003 and has worked 14 European vintages in Burgundy, Bordeaux, Barolo and Priorat.
The S.C.Pannell winery was realised to focus on Stephen’s passion for the McLaren Vale region and its ability to produce dry - grown and environmentally sustainable Shiraz and Grenache.
In 2014 a new home was established at 60 Olivers Rd McLaren Vale, including cellar door, restaurant, and wedding venue.
Steve's holistic philosophy to winemaking starts with our climate, emphasising the importance on the vineyard, as well as wine's relation to food Australian's love to grow, cook, and eat.
Stephen Pannell was recently named Gourmet Traveller Wine 2015 Australian Winemaker of the Year.
The 2014 KOOMILYA SHIRAZ:
Summer conditions were significantly warmer than average with two heat waves through January and February. Timely rain in February rehydrated the vines and freshened the fruit. The rain also brought with it cooler daytime temperatures which allowed the fruit an extra couple of weeks of hang time for ripening.
A blend of three Koomilya Shiraz blocks, the majority of which is sourced from non-clonal Shiraz grafted on Gewürztraminer (GT Block). This block was planted in 1970, and grafted in the early 1990s. The remaining Shiraz was sourced from the Mulberry Block & Spider Block. These blocks were planted in the early 2000s with clones sourced from 130+-year-old Hardy Upper Tintara Shiraz vineyard, the neighbouring vineyard.
Hand-harvested on 24th February; GT Block 5.26 tonnes (two fermenters), Bob’s Block 4.1 tonnes (one fermenter), Mulberry Block 2.5 tonnes (one fermenter). Final blend of 44% GT Block, 35% Spider Block & 21 % Mulberry Block. Fruit spent 15 days on skins in open-top fermenters before being pressed off, with the hard pressings removed to give a juice yield of approximately 40 litres a tonne. The wine was naturally fermented and transferred to stainless steel tank for 28 days, then racked into French vats (4,500-litre & 2,500-litre), and two 500-litre French puncheons. Here they underwent malolactic fermentation, before being racked out and left.
852 dozen bottled on the 23rd of February 2015, after spending a total of 10 months in oak.
Peace and stay awesome,
Craig Thompson, The Booze Hunter

Let's Taste - S.C. Pannell McLaren Vale Grenache 2011
Just over three years ago I helped out at the annual trade day for Cellarhand Wines here in Melbourne, and as a thank you I was gifted a few bottles of wine. They have both been sitting in my cellar since then, and I decided to open one on this edition of Let's Taste. Steve Pannell is one of the most celebrated winemakers in Australia, and amongst his gems is the McLaren Vale Grenache, already a multiple trophy winner. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below, and be sure to like share and subscribe!

South Australia Wine Guide - Jim Barry Wines | Winery | Vineyard, Clare Valley - WBTL
South Australia Wine Guide
From a large number of some of Clare’s best sites Peter and Mark Barry continue to build on what their father made famous over four decades, but whether the wines will now show more individuality or refinement remains to be seen. Reds are the mainstay: deep, impressively rich and concentrated if relatively unsubtle are Shiraz McRae Wood and Cabernet Sauvignon First Eleven. A premium Cabernet Benbournie is also made. However, it is for The Armagh that Jim Barry is best known. Considered one of the region’s super-reds, it is an uncompromisingly big, thick, extracted and oaky Shiraz with a long track record dating back to 1985. It is made from very old, unirrigated vines and nearly always achieves the balance that some mega-Shirazes lack but must be kept for a minimum of a decade. Riesling is sourced from the Florita vineyard (in Watervale), first made famous by Leo Buring.
Lodge Hill is toasty, limy and flavoursome with moderate structure but ‘The Florita’ has much greater expression, density and structure and is now recognized as one of the region’s leading examples. Watervale Riesling (only available in Australia) shows good typicity and represents good value for money. Production is a substantial 60,000 cases, though much of that is accounted for by more ordinary reds and whites.
