2022 ‘Dead End’ Tempranillo — S.C. Pannell, McLaren Vale, South Australia

Bright, juicy, and mouth-wateringly smooth — this is Tempranillo with an Aussie accent. Bursting with ripe cherry, plum and a touch of cola spice, it glides across the palate with soft tannins and a savoury, gently earthy twist. Fresh enough for a midweek pour, yet characterful enough to please the wine geeks.

A vibrant, modern red that proves McLaren Vale can nail Tempranillo just as well as its classics.
