The Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet appears a dark plum color with a cherry hue in the glass. The nose reveals lifted aromatics of red liquorice, fennel root and black rose prevail. Brooding red and black berry “Chambord” is peppered with dried sage, thyme and toasty oak notes. Bright and textural on the palate with ripe blood plums, dark cherry and blackberries - amplified by tones of vanilla bean creaminess and warm spice. Dried rosemary and sage give the wine a sense of earthiness. Fine, elegant tannins which frame and capture fruit depth providing length and balance.
Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet is very much a reflection of the Penfolds winemaking style and philosophy. Sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia, the wine is known for its full-flavored style with excellent shiraz and cabernet fruit, firm yet well-rounded structure and balanced oak. Made as a traditional 'Australian blend', the shiraz component provides fleshy fruit flavor while cabernet provides a frame of fine grained tannins.
61% Shiraz, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 10 months in seasoned oak hogsheads.
