S.C Pannell Syrah - Hand-picked, open-fermented with 30% whole bunches, 10 months in large French oak vats and puncheons. A very smart wine. The bouquet offers a combination of black fruits and stern spices, plus a waft of oak. The medium-bodied palate seamless picks up the theme in a star dust of spicy/peppery flavours and texture. It is at once powerful, yet calmly insistent

S.C Pannell Pinot Noir - This is a pallid ruby and like all good pinot noir, the colour gives little indication of the intensity of flavour to follow. Red fruits, briar, and piercing bing cherry notes soar from the glass without the inflection of excessive sweetness. Rather, the impression is one of sapid flavour and a cool, autumnal confluence of savoury, delicate tannins and bright acidity. The wine's tension from fore to aft is a testimony to the optimal fruit ripeness and tannin management from judicious use of stems, extraction and diplomatic choice of oak. This sings a giddy melody of a time in Burgundy, even if only in the mind's eye
