Stephen Pannell’s move to Nebbiolo as the variety employed for his Rosé continues to pay dividends in its second year.
Summer pudding, pippy cherries, blood orange, roses and whispers of watermelon. Love the texture and spice, love that it has a little body, love the citrusy cut and the deft, minimalist use of fine, nuanced phenolics. Love the wine. Persistent little bugger too. 93

Doesn’t know how to make a bad wine.
A lot of great ideas in that head, not just about making wine either. I’d love to see them published and without the ‘aid’ of a wine writer as intermediary.
