The 2023 S.C. Pannell Grenache Shiraz Touriga is a vibrant McLaren Vale red blend that brings together Grenache, Shiraz and Touriga Nacional in a distinctly Mediterranean-inspired style. Sourced from carefully selected vineyards across the region, the wine showcases the strengths of each variety, with Grenache providing lifted aromatics, Shiraz adding depth and spice, and Touriga contributing floral complexity and structure.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and energetic, with bright flavours of raspberry, red cherry and plum layered with hints of rose petal, dried herbs and subtle spice. Fine, savoury tannins and fresh acidity create balance and texture, while the finish is long, smooth and perfumed with lingering red fruit and spice notes.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic all-round red for customers who enjoy expressive, medium-bodied wines with plenty of character and versatility. Its bright fruit profile and savoury edge make it a great match for lamb cutlets, wood-fired pizza, chargrilled vegetables, roast chicken or Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Drinking beautifully now, it will continue to develop added complexity over the next 5–10 years.
