James' Review
The only surprising piece of background is that it took (an admittedly still reasonably youthful) Steve Pannell and wife Fiona so long to cut the painter from Constellation/ Hardys and establish their own winemaking and consulting business. Steve radiates intensity and his extended experience has resulted in wines of the highest quality, right from the first vintage. The Pannells have two vineyards in McLaren Vale, the first planted in 1891 with a precious 3.6ha of shiraz. The Koomilya Vineyard was purchased in 2012, lifting the total estate vineyards to 22ha (Steve first set foot on this viticultural jewel in 1994 and it was love at first sight). The future for the Pannells is limitless, the icon status of the label already well established. Exports to the UK, the US, Sweden, Singapore and China.
About
"I try to create wines that suit our climate and our way of life - wines to drink with the food we grow, make and eat in Australia." - SCP The S.C.Pannell winery was realised to focus on Stephen’s passion for the McLaren Vale region and its ability to produce dry - grown and environmentally sustainable Shiraz and Grenache. In 2014 a new home was established at 60 Olivers Rd McLaren Vale. Steve's holistic philosophy to winemaking starts with our climate, emphasises the importance on the vineyard, as well as wine's relation to food we love to grow, cook, and eat.
