🌟 An Iberian-inspired blend with an Aussie twist—lively, textured, and irresistibly expressive.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep ruby with violet flashes—youthful and alluring.

👃 On the Nose:
Fragrant and complex, with notes of black cherry, blueberry, and blood plum. Aromatic layers of lavender, clove, tobacco leaf, and a touch of earthiness hint at its Portuguese heritage.

👅 On the Palate:
Medium-bodied yet full of character. Juicy dark fruits meet savoury spice and fine-grained tannins, with Touriga’s florals lifting the palate and Tinto Cão adding freshness and grip. A mineral edge and bright acidity give energy to the long, dry finish.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Fantastic with chargrilled meats, lamb kofta, mushroom tapas, or roast pork belly. Also sings alongside a hearty vegetarian tagine.

⏳ Enjoyment Window:
Ready to drink now, especially with a short decant, but will develop beautifully over the next 5–7 years.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
This is a red with swagger and soul. S.C. Pannell’s Iberian blend showcases how Mediterranean grapes thrive in the Adelaide Hills—offering savoury depth, elegance, and real drinkability. Think Rioja meets the outback, with class and charisma in every glass.
