S.C. Pannell Tanino from S.C. Pannell in McLaren Vale opens with intense aromas of blackberry, black cherry, plum skin and dried herbs, layered with notes of cocoa, spice and a subtle earthy darkness that reflects the wine’s bold Southern Italian varietal composition. On the palate, this S.C. Pannell Tanino shows concentrated dark fruit, savoury spice, graphite and firm structural tannins, supported by bright acidity that gives the wine tension, precision and remarkable ageing potential. The texture is powerful yet refined, finishing long with mineral drive and lingering hints of dark chocolate and spice.

It pairs superbly with slow braised lamb, rich tomato based dishes, smoked meats and robust herb driven meals. This is a commanding Australian red offering depth, complexity and serious cellaring pedigree.
