Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz 2020 (Australia)

Description

• Ripe plum
• Sweet spice
• Great structure
• Supple tannins

Immediately recognisable are aromas of ripe plum, blueberry & sweet spice - undeniably South Australian Shiraz. Savoury notes persist. The palate shows flint, licorice, smoked meat & paprika. Integrated tannins remind us of the wine's place in the penfolds' family line up. A multi regional blend of Shiraz from across South Australia’s premium wine growing regions. Koonunga Hill Shiraz is a plumper style with plush red-berried fruits, generosity of flavour and supple ripe tannins. It has excellent structure and length, and while it is ready for drinking now, the koonunga hill shiraz will gain further complexity over the next two to four years.

Since its inception, Penfolds Koonunga Hill has always aimed to deliver quality, value and consistency. The original 1976 Koonunga Hill Claret is a legendary wine that is still drinking well today. A favourite at Penfolds Re-corking Clinics, collectors value its quality and longevity. Koonunga Hill Shiraz joined the range in 2002, a contemporary reflection of Penfolds multi-regional sourcing philosophy. Shiraz from the warmer districts of South Australia is carefully blended, with the Barossa Valley always well represented.

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.
