[SOLD-OUT] SC Pannell Tempranillo Touriga 2018

 

"Sometimes, partnerships just work and sync immediately. Like these two Iberian varieties. Comfortable together, complementing the qualities of each to make an harmonious drink. Dark fruits, red and black licorice, roasted coffee beans, wood char and charcuterie, sarsaparilla and nutmeg. Medium-bodied, energetic and damn delicious." - Jane Faulkner, Wine Companion

 

"Otherwise known as ‘The Red One’, a wine inspired by both the climate and lifestyle of the Iberian Penninsula. Both varieties are unquestionably suited to the South Australian winegrowing conditions resulting in wines with natural balance, complexity and flavour. Whilst Tempranillo is now well know, Touriga Nacional may be new to many wine drinkers and in need of further introduction. A lusty red variety that produces medium-bodied yet powerful wines with pungent fruit characteristics of fruit-mince or plum pudding. It blends well with red fruit, earth and cocoa of Tempranillo and may just be the variety and wine for our times.

Simply stated, 2018 was a solid year. A vintage without extremes that was kind to both winemakers and vines alike. The fruit had lovely freshness and vivacity, the crops were of an average size and there was consistency throughout despite the dryness of the soil. Even the winemakers seemed to be enjoying themselves." - S.C. Pannell
