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.

"Black cherry, blackberry pastille, cherry cola, black jellybean—all sans confection—chinotto, leather, panforte spicing, scrubby herbs, and a hint of violet or the like. The palate is dutifully structured with classic tapas-beckoning tannins. It’s got a bit of intensity and presence, though it’s not big by any stretch. Very nice."
- Marcus Ellis (Halliday Wine Companion)

    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.
