SC Pannell Koomilya GT Block Shiraz 2021

Wedged between the original Upper Tintara vineyard – planted by the famous Doctor Kelly in 1862, and the Hope Farm or Seaview vineyard established in the early 1850s by George Manning,  Koomilya’s landscape and microclimate first captured the winemaker’s heart in December 1994 while Stephen was working with BRL Hardy. 

Despite visiting hundreds of vineyards across the globe, it was Koomilya that continued to call. Having expressed his wishes to one day own the vineyard should the then owner Don Cant ever look to sell, it was in late 2012 that the opportunity arose for Stephen and Fiona to become the new custodians of the 35 hectare property and so to the chance to regenerate an old Shiraz vineyard amongst an ancient landscape.

A single block Shiraz from 33-year-old vines grafted on Gewurztraminer planted in 1974 by Jill and Don Cant, the previous owners. Grown on ancient, dark grey slaty siltstone laminated with ironstone facing South at an altitude of 116m. The last block to be restored to health, GT stands for grafted or Gewurztraminer, take your pick.

Like the DC, but more open, a larger more cuddly expression, with a sweeter mix of gateau like black cherry balanced by tar and rosemary flowers. Its pliant and fluent, with the mid palate showing a decadent core of raspberry, black cherry, jelly crystals and milk chocolate, but at no stage ever verging into opulence – framed with a vibrant, energetic level of tension and structure. It’s a beautiful expression of McLaren Vale Shiraz.
