Oak derived spice makes its presence felt by way of Hungarian paprika and celery slat. There are layers of flavour, the sweetness of hazelnut chocolate balanced by savoury pan-seared pancetta, sandalwood, and salted noir. A fine line of acid and talcy tannins make for a supple and plush mouth feel.

Well-regarded since launch, the Koonunga Hill Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the typical cellarability that all Penfolds wines are renowned for. The wine has excellent structure and length and while it is ready for drinking now, it will gain further complexity with short term cellaring.

Above-average winter and spring rainfall offered the vines across South Australia healthy soil moisture profiles for the growing season. Cool days and cooler nights slowed vine growth in early spring with temperatures warming in October. Late flowering and veraison delayed harvest by a few weeks. Weather conditions during ripening were generally dry favouring fully ripened grapes with well-developed colours and flavours.

The Penfolds wine experience begins with Koonunga Hill. Named after one of our Barossa Valley vineyards, the Koonunga Hill range has established a world-wide reputation for value, lasting quality and consistency. The wines are all about freshness, generosity of flavour, richness and balance.
