Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz

Koonunga Hill Shiraz is a plumper style with plush, red berried fruits, generosity of flavour and supple ripe tannins, and is a rich, deep crimson colour with ruby red hues. The nose is mainly focused on fruit, displaying delightful hints of raspberries, red cherries, cranberry, and blackcurrants. Along with these, the aroma of bakery goods like black forest cake and vanilla sponge, as well as subtle touches of dark Dutch cocoa powder can also be detected. Upon further examination, one can also notice notes of spice such as paprika, turmeric, and white pepper, along with a mouthwatering scent of charcuterie. On the palate, the sweet, lush fruit flavours of raspberry, cranberry, and blackcurrant are complemented by a refreshing acidity that leads to a juicy finish. The fine-grained tannins and flavours of charcuterie add structure and balance, enhancing the overall fruit profile of this wine.

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.

Colour: Crimson rim with a purple core.

Aroma: A gorgeous aromatic amalgamation of sweet notes. A burst of red berries coulis intersects with dark mulberry notes and boysenberry ice-cream. A second swirl reveals a suggestion of sponge cake sweetness with alluring frosted icing aromatics.

Palate: Very generous and appealing, with kirsch, blackcurrant juice and blue fruit generosity. Agreeable croissant and pastry sweetness flesh out the soft and round mid-palate. A slight hint of salinity forms part of the texture and provides an alluring counterweight to the fruit generosity.

Food Pairing: Beef shoulder ragu or a three tomato risotto.
