About Penfolds Koonunga Hill Cab Shz 750ML 2024
Penfolds Koonunga Hill Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz is a classic South Australian blend that showcases the synergy between two of the region's most celebrated red varieties. On the nose, it opens with inviting aromas of ripe blackcurrant, dark plum, and mulberry, underpinned by subtle hints of dark chocolate and a whisper of cedar. The palate is medium to full-bodied, delivering a generous core of blackberry and cassis from the Cabernet, seamlessly woven with the plush, spiced fruit of Shiraz — think black pepper, licorice, and a touch of mocha. Tannins are firm yet approachable, with well-integrated oak lending structure without dominating. The finish is clean, persistent, and satisfying, with lingering notes of dark fruit and gentle spice that speak to Penfolds' consistent winemaking philosophy.
