Koomilya Tempranillo Touriga 2017

"Stephen Pannell grafted two terraced blocks to tempranillo and touriga when he purchased Koomilya in '12. In '17 (as intended) the two parcels were vinified separately before blending, then transferred to a large French oak vat for maturation. It's chock-full of black fruits, licorice, dark chocolate and multi-spices." 94pts James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion 2021

"This is a very plush, rich and silky Touriga with a ripe red-plum nose and gently spiced complexity below. The palate has a super smooth, fine and silky texture and delivers long, fresh and elegant on the finish. Effortless. Drink or hold. Screw cap." 94pts Nick Stock.  JamesSuckling.com

"There’s a big future for Touriga in McLaren Vale I think, but SCP is ahead of the curve, as per usual. I tried this standing in the vineyard last month, which is very romantic, yet not especially conducive to knocking out a review. Black jelly bean, violet, iron, fruit mince, blackberry and a little spice. It’s fresh and lively, red fruits and apple, slightly sticky and ferrous tannin, and a good long finish, perfume and spiced fruits trailing. Such character and interest. An excellent drink." 93pts Gary Walsh.  The Wine Front
