The 2024 S.C. Pannell Blewitt Springs Grenache is an elegant Australian red wine from McLaren Vale, South Australia, crafted by acclaimed winemaker Stephen Pannell. Sourced from the sandy soils of Blewitt Springs, this Grenache reflects the area's distinctive terroir, known for producing fragrant, finely structured reds. Its anticipated aromas reveal wild raspberry, ripe cherry and red plum, complemented by notes of rose petals, dried herbs and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is expected to be medium-bodied with silky tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of juicy red cherry, strawberry and raspberry unfold alongside hints of liquorice, white pepper and savoury herbs. Its expressive red-fruit character is balanced by fine structure and freshness, leading to a long, elegant finish with lingering floral and spice notes.
