Description

Stephen Pannell's curiosity with Italian varieties continues here with this fun, eye-catching Montepulciano.

If you aren't familiar with the variety, it's not at all dissimilar from something like a Shiraz. It shows deep, dark fruit, smooth velvety tannin and flecks of spice.

It's the perfect gateway into Italian varieties for those who are used to drinking the Aussie classics.

You take these varietal characteristics, add a seasoning of the classic 'McLaren Vale chocolate' that the region is known for, and you've got yourself a slinky, seductive red that's primed to match with an array of food, anytime, anywhere.

Italian giggle juice! This is a happy wine, and a variety Stephen has great hope for in our warm climate. The wine is an immediate pleasure but given a moment can be contemplative and cerebral.

In a way it’s the red version of Fiano with the same juxtaposition of lean and ripe. Originating in the warm, central wine-growing areas of Italy and regarded as a workhouse variety of great importance, it suffers from a confounding name and is often confused with the Tuscan
town of the same name. Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is in fact made from Sangiovese grapes while Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is made from Montepulciano grapes.

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.
