Not on offer but a sensational wine, we have a small allocation due late February, albeit limited. Please let us know if you are not happy to wait until late February 2026

"The Sunrise vineyard was planted in 1920. The 2022 Sunrise Grenache marks the first time this wine has been made and released. Steve Pannell pruned the vineyard himself prior to purchasing it in 2021. The wine here is silky and seamless, packed with tannin, flavor and perfume. "I didn't make it any differently [than the other Grenaches]; I've just let the vineyard sing," he said. And sing, it does. This is a wholly complex, complete and persistently long wine. There are notes of Boscobel rose, sweet licorice, graphite, ironstone and tobacco. What a wine. In terms of character, this combines the texture and complexity of the Smart vineyard and the ethereal spice and delicacy of the Little Branch and then raises the bar of both to a whole new level. The release of this Sunrise Grenache marks the arrival of an "off-leash Pannell"; he has been tirelessly championing premium Grenache from McLaren Vale for years in his own oeuvre of structure, shape, tannin and freshness. The acquisition of this vineyard site has given him all the permission he needed, it seems. In many ways, it feels as if all of the Grenache that Pannell has made over the decades has been leading up to this point. It was worth the wait. And there are great things to come in future releases too. The fruit was handpicked fruit, with a 3.1 pH and 14° Baumé at picking and a 3.31 pH for the finished wine, and it came in at a total yield of 13 hectoliters per hectare. Twenty percent whole-bunch fruit was used in the ferment, and the wine was matured in one vat and one puncheon. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap." 100pts Erin Larkin The Wine Advocate
