Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet 750ml
Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet is a reflection of the Penfolds winemaking style and philosophy. Sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia, the wine is known for its full-flavoured style with excellent shiraz and cabernet sauvignon fruit, firm yet well-rounded structure and balanced oak.
ABV: 14.5% / Variety(s): Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon / Acidity: 6.0 g/L, pH: 3.63
Region: Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek and Padthaway.
Nose: Generous aromatics, equal parts sweet and savoury notes. Each varietal brings something intriguing to the party. Perfumed baking spices abound with raspberry coulis, dark cherry Danish and castor sugar dusting. A hint of bergamot provides an Earl Grey-esque allure. There is a certain plushness to the nose that is enriched by the presence of exotic spice.
Palate: Oak derived spice makes its presence felt by way of Hungarian paprika and celery salt. There are layers of flavour, the sweetness of hazelnut chocolate balanced by savoury pan-seared pancetta, sandalwood and salted nori. A fine line of acid and talcy tannins make for a supple and plush mouthfeel.
Colour: Crimson with purple hues at the core.
