Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet 2019 - Penfolds

The Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet from Penfolds is a wonderful, multi-layered red wine cuvée from the Australian wine region of South Australia. 

In the glass, this wine appears in a beautiful, dark red in the glass. In the spicy bouquet a lot of dark fruit unfolds (especially currant and blackberry). The fruity nose is complemented by hints of olives, liquorice, quinces, figs, cake spices and dark cocoa. Everything is accompanied by gentle yet spicy oak aromas.

On the palate, this Australian red wine shows all the elegance, density and juiciness of Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet, which produces a medium body, a ripe fruit and spicy notes of black olives. The gentle tannins and the delicate oak notes are beautifully integrated. A spicy-aromatic finish with the typical reverberation of dark chocolate completes this cuvée from southern Australia in the classic Koonunga Hill style.

Vinification of the Shiraz Cabernet Koonunga Hills Penfold

grapes for this red wine are harvested from selected toppings in Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale (Shiraz) and Coonawarra (Cabernet Sauvignon) and vinified separately from Penfolds in the wine cellar. After the fermentation process in stainless steel tanks, this wine is aged for 10 months in used wooden barrels.
