Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon has established itself as one of Australia's favourite premium red wines. Since its first vintage in 1976, Koonunga Hill's reputation has been built upon its affordable price, its approachability in its youth, with the potential to develop if carefully cellared. 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-flavoured style with excellent Shiraz and Cabernet fruit, firm yet well-rounded structure and balanced oak.

~Tasting Notes~

Nose: Aromatic hallmarks of Penfolds yesteryear, befitting a retro release under this label’s masthead! Immediate interest is evoked via wafts of red liquorice, smoked meats, corned beef and pink peppercorn. Oak is present, but always respectful, providing a stable platform for the projection of Black Forest cake and French polish artefact.
Palate: Intense. Dark chocolate, blackberry and fresh blue fruits. Beneath the saturated fruit exterior lies a flavour caché of vanilla custard, caraway seeds and steamed pudding. Tight, grainy Cabernet tannins mesh with plush and lively Shiraz fruit – initial markers that all but guarantee a long and enduring future.
