Steve Pannell is one of Australia's most renowned winemakers, regarded by peers & press as being utterly relevant and forward-thinking, at the same time as serving as a wise older statesman. This fact was celebrated recent when he was awarded Gourmet Traveller WINE Winemaker of the Year.

Koomilya vineyard is Stephen Pannell's own treasured site. He fell in love with it in the mid-1990s- and at this time nearly 25 years ago, he won the coveted Jimmy Watson with a Shiraz build upon a parcel of this vineyard!

In fact, Steve has won the Jimmy Watson Trophy twice now, as well as the prestigious 'Bushing King' title for best wine of show at the McLaren Vale Wine Show the last 3 out of 4 years. Steve is in a purple patch, and we're so glad to be able to sell his wines!

Reviews

This sets the rules of the game, ensuring it is the fruit that speaks, not the winemaker; St Henri, not Grange. Black fruits, earthy notes and ripe tannins fill the mouth. The future of this wine stretches to the horizon.
Comes from 80 year old vines, from Upper Tintara in the McLaren Vale, though of course, no mention can be made of Tintara on the label. Just one of those things. Like Kalmina. Like Stonewell. Like Polish Hill, without the River. It’s quite different to the JC block, although, of course, similar. Like siblings, perhaps. Here we have cherries steeped in brandy, mint, iron, juice of prune and plum, though freshness is not taken hostage as a result. Dense, a bit chewy, a little warmth, but like a hug from an old friend, long lost, but well met. Ink wells and old desks, brine and blackberry. Sweet and savoury on a long and umami finish. Terrific. Verity and integrity. It’s a wonderful wine.
