Pannell Montepulciano","description":"\u003cp\u003eSteve Pannell affectionately calls this \"Italian giggle juice,\" and it is easy to see why. It is a happy, immediate wine, but it carries the serious intent that defines the Pannell label. Steve views Montepulciano as a variety with a huge future in the warm McLaren Vale climate - a grape that can deliver a fascinating juxtaposition of lean structure and ripe fruit, much like a red version of Fiano.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those used to drinking big Aussie classics, this is the perfect gateway into the world of Italian varieties. In many ways, it isn't too dissimilar to a Shiraz, offering deep, dark fruit, velvety tannins and a flicker of spice. However, it wraps that familiarity in a slinky, seductive texture with a seasoning of that classic 'McLaren Vale chocolate' character the region is famous for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a wine that works on two levels: it’s effortless and fun if you just want a drink, but cerebral and contemplative if you stop to pay attention. A versatile, food-friendly red that hits the sweet spot between fresh and rich.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Very deep, dense, opaque purple colour; aromas of squashed raspberry, mulberry and cranberry, laced with fine herbs. An edge of broken rock and subtle farmyard. The palate is full-bodied and rugged with assertive tannins and a big firm finish that lingers on. This is different, and very smart.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Huon Hooke (The Real Review)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d5bQUH5T6_g?si=F2GLQUpsN46U5ArQ\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" data-dashlane-frameid=\"96097\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"S.C.
