Pannell Single-Vineyard Nero d’Avola","description":"\u003cp\u003eSteve Pannell has been banging the drum for Mediterranean red varieties in Australia for years, firmly believing they make far more sense for our climate and lifestyle than traditional French staples. His fascination with heat-hardy, late-ripening grapes consistently results in some of the country's most compelling alternative reds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis release marks a serious step up for his work with Nero d'Avola, pulling fruit directly from his own Olivers Road vineyard. While the Sicilian variety is often treated as a simple, slurpy thirst-quencher in Australia, this single-vineyard bottling was grown and shaped to prove that Nero can translate a specific site and carry genuine structural weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDriven by the grape's natural ability to handle summer heat while retaining sharp acidity, it drinks almost like a heavily built Grenache. Pannell lets the fruit do the heavy lifting here, avoiding heavy-handed winemaking to keep the wine deeply primary but firmly grounded by a savoury spine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpect a wave of dark cherry and wild berry, cut through with bitter orange peel, baking spices, and a dusty, baked-earth edge. It enters the palate with silken ease before pulling tight with firm, woodsy tannins that give it serious length. Straight to the top of the pile of Aussie Nero.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"S.C.
