Description

The Dead End Tempranillo is a juicy, medium-bodied red that is yet another case in point the mastery of one of Australia’s most forward-thinking winemakers, the peerless  S.C. Pannell. Sourced from vineyards in McLaren Vale, where Spanish varietals thrive, this wine is a perfect match for our warm Aussie climate and modern food culture.

Bright aromas of cherry compote, sarsaparilla, and cola leap from the glass, with hints of lilac, marjoram, and earthy undertones adding complexity. On the palate, it’s all about juicy red fruits with a subtle savoury edge. The tannins playfully tug at the flavours, delivering a dynamic mouthfeel that’s both refreshing and full of character.

A staple of the S.C. Pannell range, Dead End Tempranillo is designed for immediate enjoyment but has enough structure to develop in the bottle. If you’ve loved the award-winning Tempranillo Touriga, this one will be right up your alley—an easy-going yet deeply satisfying wine perfect for any occasion.

    The perfect pizza wine!

    Bright and juicy, yet wonderfully complex. Exactly what you want from a tempranilo!

We are fortunate to work with clever growers who saw the potential of Spanish varietals in McLaren Vale long ago. Iberian varietals are ideally suited to the McLaren Vale climate and this wine is a perfect example of what’s possible./p>

Mocha Chocolata ya ya, pimento, cola nut, red licourice, blackberry all the Tempranillo classics. The Koomilya influence can be seen in the red wood and quinoa bark that gives the palate a jiggle. Lavender, clove and star anise close out the set. There is a game being played in your mouth, it’s as though the tannins are locked in a tug of war with the flavours that linger at the front of the palate. The tannins win and the mouth explodes with flavour that push to the sides and press on all corners. Finishes cool and long, definitively medium bodied.

S.C. Pannell

Quite simply, Stephen Pannell is one of Australia’s finest and most imaginative winemakers. He’s a Jimmy Watson Trophy winner, a McLaren Vale Bushing King winner, a two-time Max Schubert Trophy winner, International Red Winemaker of the Year and Decanter Magazine’s 50 Most Influential Contributors to the World of Wine. Nick Stock described him as potentially “one of the greatest Australian winemakers ever to make wines in our age”.

Steve’s wines are made with modern Australian food and wine culture at the front of mind. The wines come from a range of stunning McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills vineyards, and are made from sustainable varieties that properly suit his South Australian climate. They're built around brightness of fruit and savoury tannin structure, and whatever your poison is Steve has you covered!

He is truly one of the most forward-thinking and inspirational Australian winemakers alive today.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
