The 2023 S.C. Pannell Sunset 100 Grenache is a premium Australian red wine from McLaren Vale, South Australia, crafted by acclaimed winemaker Stephen Pannell. Made from Grenache, this wine reflects the region's Mediterranean climate and distinctive vineyard character. Its anticipated aromas reveal ripe raspberry, dark cherry and red plum, complemented by notes of rose petals, dried herbs, liquorice and subtle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is expected to be medium-bodied with fine tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of juicy cherry, wild strawberry and ripe plum unfold alongside hints of white pepper, savoury herbs and gentle spice. Its concentrated red-fruit character is balanced by freshness and elegant structure, leading to a long, persistent finish with lingering berry and earthy notes.
