SC Pannell has joined forces with Smashingbottles in Queensland.

02-Mar-2010 We are all very excited to spread the good word about Steve Pannell and alternative varietals with the just released 2008 Pronto Bianco and Pronto Tinto.

His 2007 Nebbiolo recently took out Best Italian Varietal, Best Red Wine and Best Wine of Show at The Australian Alternative Varieties Show. This is a fabulous brand looking to Italy, Spain and France for inspiration.

Steve Pannell grew up in the wine industry. In 1967, his family founded Moss Wood, the second winery and vineyard to emerge in the Margaret River region. Pannell's Australian credentials include Seppelts Great Western, Wirra Wirra, Hardy's Tintara and BRL Hardy Wine Company where he was the Chief Red Winemaker from 1999 to 2003, making some fabulous wines such as Eileen Hardy Shiraz and E&E Black Pepper to name just two.

During this time he won 'Winemaker of the Year' at the International Wine Challenge, as well as countless trophies and gold medals. He has also worked extensively around the world at Comtes Lafon and Mouton Rothschild as well as more recently in Italy.
