Penfolds - Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 750ml

Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet serves as the perfect introduction to the celebrated Penfolds collection. Named after a specific vineyard in the Barossa Valley, this wine sources grapes from premium sites across South Australia. It captures the essence of the "Australian blend," marrying the bold fruit of Shiraz with the firm structure of Cabernet Sauvignon. The result is a bottle that offers richness and balance in equal measure.

In the glass, you will see a crimson core with purple hues. The nose is generous and complex. Scents of raspberry coulis and dark cherry Danish mix with the dusting of castor sugar. Intriguing notes of bergamot and exotic baking spices add depth. The influence of seasoned oak appears as hints of Hungarian paprika and celery salt.

On the palate, this red blend reveals layers of flavor. The sweetness of hazelnut chocolate is balanced by savory notes of pan-seared pancetta and salted nori. Hints of sandalwood drift through the finish. Fine-grained tannins and a crisp line of acidity give the wine a supple texture. It is a full-flavored choice that reflects the true Penfolds philosophy.
