Penny’s Hill Premium Reds Collection (Australia)

Description

Penny's Hill wines reflect both generosity of the region and individuality of the estate plantings.

On the foothills east of McLaren Vale, the original narrow-planted Penny’s Hill Vineyard produces lower yields of high quality Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache for wines of texture, complexity and interest.

Fruit for Penny’s Hill white wines are sourced from nearby Adelaide Hills vineyards we call ‘estates of mates’.
