2018 Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet

Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet is very much a reflection of the Penfolds winemaking style and philosophy. Sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia, the wine is known for its full-flavored style with excellent shiraz and cabernet fruit, firm yet well-rounded structure and balanced oak. Made as a traditional 'Australian blend', the shiraz component provides fleshy fruit flavor while cabernet provides a frame of fine grained tannins.

Vintage conditions

2018 Vintage

Plentiful winter rainfall offered the grapevines across South Australia healthy soil moisture profiles in the lead up to the growing season. Spring was quite cool, initially slowing down vine growth. Temperatures gradually warmed in October with vines producing large canopies, little irrigation was required. Growers had to work hard to control vigor and crop size. Vintage was delayed by up to a month in some regions. Harvest was generally dry favoring fully ripened grapes with well-developed colors and flavors.
