The 2022 S.C. Pannell Tempranillo Touriga is an Iberian-inspired South Australian red combining two varieties well suited to the region’s Mediterranean climate. The nose is bright and expressive, showing fresh cherry, blood plum and darker berries with subtle clove, sarsaparilla and dried floral notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied, plush and juicy, with vibrant red and black fruit supported by fresh acidity and layered tannins. Cherry and plum flavours are joined by savoury spice, giving the wine a generous texture and persistent, balanced finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for drinkers who enjoy juicy, savoury reds with smooth texture and plenty of spice. It is approachable now but can also develop over the next few years. Pair with chorizo, grilled lamb, tapas, chargrilled vegetables or tomato-based dishes.
