About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of ShirazPairs well with BeefIndependent wineryStephen Pannell has twice won Australia’s most prestigious wine award, the Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy, most recently in 2014– his reputation is further hinted at by his being named one of the 50 most influential contributors to the world of wine by Decanter Magazine. In 2014, Steve set up a Cellardoor in the heart of Mclaren Vale.
A youthful and vibrant blend of 62% Grenache, 29% Shiraz and 9% Touriga Nacional, all hand-picked, crushed and vinified in small open-top fermenters. The GST goes through malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks prior to its eight-month aging process in large format French vats.
Silky and juicy, the medium-bodied 2017 GST bring fruit forward notes of dark cherries and pomegranate, followed by Turkish delight, star-anise and nutmeg.

Light crimson-purple hue; an essentially light-bodied wine that has greater intensity and length than is obvious at first sight, and a fruit span of red, blue and purple berries allied with a sauce of spice and neat tannins. Ready now.

A little bit of Touriga goes a long way in a blend, I feel. Dark cherry, baking spices, some liquorice, Brazil nuts, floral notes. It’s medium bodied, fleshy and rounded, savoury with ample dark fruit, a slightly earthy character, silty tannin, and some raspberry freshness in with dark nutty chocolate on a furry tannin finish of fine length. Super drinking.
