Description

Field Street has always been Steve Pannell doing what he does best – honest, unforced McLaren Vale Shiraz that speaks of where it’s from. The fruit comes off red, ironstone soils around his home in Blewitt Springs, a pocket that gives Shiraz plenty of flavour without tipping into heaviness.

The 2023 vintage was kind to the Vale – mild days, cool nights and a long ripening window. The fruit came in clean, bright and full of life. Steve kept it simple in the winery: open ferments, basket press, and time in large old oak so nothing gets in the way of the fruit.

It’s all black cherry, plum and a flick of spice, with that trademark Field Street softness through the middle. The tannins are fine, the finish is long and savoury, and it just feels effortless – the kind of red you pour without needing to think too hard about it.

    Exceptional value for money

    Had this wine in a wine bar and could not stop raving about it. Strawberry bouquet, berry fruit forward, med to full body, no tannins, smooth and not too salty, absolute winner for the price, drinks like a $60 bottle

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.
