Penfolds Koonunga Hills Shiraz/Cabernet 2018

Description

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-flavouredstyle 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 flavour while cabernet provides a frame of fine grained tannins. Color: Dark plum with a cherry hue. Nose: 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. Palate: Bright and textural 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. -Winery
