Critic reviews
James Suckling – This is a chunky, earthy expression of grenache in this exceptional vintage. Notes of pickled ginger, tamarind and dark cherries. Hints of moss and iodine across the forceful, slightly drying finish. This is an immense wine, typical of the style that defines the region, which produces some of the very finest expressions of grenache in the world. Drinkable now, but best from 2027.

S.C. Pannell Single Vineyard ‘Old McDonald’ Grenache 2022
The new vintage of the 2023 James Suckling Australian Red Wine of the Year.
Hand harvested on the 1st of March and delicately crushed. Fermented in one stainless
steel open-top fermenter with regular pump overs, 20% whole bunch. Left on skins for 15 days before a gentle press. Settled in tank for 15 days before transfer to an old French oak vat for malolactic fermentation and extended maturation. Racked twice and bottled without fining, additions, or adjustment on the 8th of February 2023. Alcohol 14.0%. 3.37 pH. TA 6. Total Sulphur 56ppm.
Flavour Profile: Energised and complex - so typical of McLaren Vale Grenache in a cooler
year. The primary aromas are amped and loaded with tension: chorizo and sweet paprika
followed by blood orange, pomegranate and Turkish delight. A year for darker flavours:
blackerry and dark cherry compote served in a rose garden.
Structure & Texture: A blanket of flavour dialling up the power but delivered with grace an poise by tannin that throw shapes across the palate, starting with squares, progressing to spheres and finally the classic fine talc on a stylish finish that doesn't fade. Medium bodied perfection.
Cellaring: Many, many years of ageing potential, try 15+
