The 2024 S.C. Pannell Field St Shiraz is a vibrant McLaren Vale Shiraz that sits at the heart of Stephen Pannell’s range, showcasing the purity and generosity of the region without excessive winemaking influence. Sourced from estate vineyards in McLaren Vale, this wine focuses on bright fruit expression, balance and drinkability, delivering a modern take on warm-climate Australian Shiraz.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a smooth texture and fine tannin structure. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry and plum are layered with notes of raspberry, pomegranate, cinnamon and subtle spice. Fresh acidity keeps the wine lively and balanced, while gentle oak maturation adds texture without overshadowing the fruit. The finish is long, vibrant and savoury, with lingering dark berry and spice notes.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for customers looking for an authentic McLaren Vale Shiraz that combines generous fruit with freshness and approachability. Its versatility makes it a natural match for grilled steaks, lamb cutlets, barbecue dishes, slow-cooked beef and mature cheeses. Drinking beautifully now, it will continue to show its best over the next 5–8 years.
