The 2010 Sauvignon Blanc provides intense notes of grapefruit peel, pineapple, green mango and a whiff of grass. With medium-high acid, a light to medium body and decent concentration, it gives a medium-long refreshing finish. Drink it now to 2012. Stephen Pannell not only has wine in his blood (his parents owned Moss Wood and now Piccardy in Western Australia) but he has spent considerable time working in the wineries of Bordeaux, Burgundy and South France not to mention some of Australia’s biggest names: Seppelt, Knappstein and Hardys. He’s now doing his own thing in McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills and producing some inspired wines these days with an emphasis on producing stellar Grenache whilst also trying his hand at a personal passion, that elusive grape Nebbiolo.Importer: Epicurean Wines, Seattle, WA; tel.
