Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet

A blend of shiraz and cabernet sauvignon is typically Australian. Shiraz provides a juicy taste of ripe red fruit, and cabernet gives the wine body and firmness. Always enjoyable, either on its own or at the table! Colour, taste: red, robust Grape variety: shiraz, cabernet sauvignon Country, region: Australia, South Australia Good with: Beef, Pork Awarded: De Grote Hamersma 8.5 Koonunga Hill is a vineyard in Barossa Valley. Penfolds named their line of wines after it, wines that always impress. They have plenty of flavour, come across full without being too heavy. When they are on the shelf, they are perfect to drink, but if you want to keep them for a few more years, that is also possible. This shiraz-cabernet sauvignon stays in top condition for at least five years after harvest. The grapes come from various regions in South Australia, giving the winemaker many options to create the perfect Koonunga Hill blend. This is a style where fullness, ripeness, and balance are key words. In this delightful red wine, you will find cherry, blueberry, some vanilla, and sweet spices. Maturing in large oak barrels gives it a pleasant, smooth structure. Recommended with steak, an Indonesian spicy stew, stir-fried vegetables, or cheese. Really always good.
