Description
Discover the exceptional S.C. Pannell Smart Vineyard Clarendon Grenache 2019, a remarkable red wine hailing from the prestigious McLaren Vale region of South Australia.

With a meticulous winemaking process, this 100% Grenache wine is crafted from 65-year-old dry-grown bush vines. Hand-harvested and carefully fermented, its delicate balance and depth are achieved through:
- Gentle pressing without hard pressings, ensuring only the finest juice is included in the blend.
- Maturation in seven-year-old French oak vats for approximately 10 months, allowing complex flavors to develop.
This beautifully perfumed wine offers:
- Intense aromas of ripe raspberries, violets, and roses, intertwined with herbaceous notes and spices.
- A palate bursting with succulent red fruits and a hint of earthiness, elevated by lively acidity and well-integrated tannins.
- A long-lasting spicy finish featuring hints of clove and licorice, leaving a velvety aftertaste.

- Exploring bold flavors by serving alongside Moroccan-spiced lamb meatballs paired with minted yogurt.

Storage advice
For storing red wine such as Grenache 2019 maintain a constant temperature between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C) to ensure balanced aging and preserve the wine’s character. Avoid temperature fluctuations as they can prematurely age or damage the wine. Store the wine in a dark place away from direct sunlight and fluorescent lighting to prevent UV damage that deteriorates flavor and aroma.
Keep humidity between 50% and 70% to prevent cork drying and shrinking which can lead to oxidation; use a humidifier or dehumidifier as needed depending on your environment. Store the bottle horizontally to keep the cork moist for unopened bottles which avoids air leaks.
For opened bottles reseal tightly with the original cork or a wine stopper and consume within a few days; storing opened bottles in a cool place or refrigerator helps slow oxidation. Avoid vibrations and strong odors near the storage area as these can negatively affect wine quality.
No special storage tips beyond these are required specifically for Grenache red wine.
