Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet
This wine shows all the rich voluptuousness and alluring spice of great Australian Shiraz and adds a welcome element of structure and spine, thanks to some premium Cabernet Sauvignon fruit.
Winemaker Notes
Colour:
Bright crimson.
Nose:
The nose is redolent of fresh pudding mixture and mixed red berries (raspberry and strawberry). There's an immediate fragrance that jumps out the glass, with subtle glace fruit and sorbet edges and just the right inflection of cedary, seasoned oak.
Palate:
The palate reflects the nose, with deeper plum and red-fruits, although there is further depth, akin to rhubarb compote. Texturally there is a rolling persistence and a Claret-like grip that is eminently Penfolds. The chocolate like finish is Koonunga
Hill through and through, with fine grained tannins.
