Description

Since its inception, Penfolds Koonunga Hill has always aimed to deliver quality, value and consistency. The original 1976 Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet is a legendary wine that is still drinking well today. A perennial favourite at Penfolds Re-corking Clinics and at auction, collectors highly value its quality and longevity. Koonunga Hill Seventy Six is a multi-regional South Australian blend of Shiraz and Cabernet, a wine style that has played a pivotal role in Australia’s rich winemaking history.

The hugely Popular Koonunga Hill 'Seventy Six' Shiraz Cabernet was released from the 2006 vintage; 30 years after the original release of this wine. Paying tribute to the remarkable, long-lived style from Penfolds, the Penfolds Koonunga Hill Seventy Six Shiraz Cabernet is a refined version of its stablemate while delivering an "extra dimension and complexity."

Under this nostalgic, retro label, the 2019 Penfolds Koonunga Hill Seventy Six Shiraz Cabernet is a classic Australian blend of Shiraz Cabernet. Spicy and fruit-driven, this is bursting with blackberry and dark fruit flavours, with some subtle oak influence add soft tannins adding further complexity. A great drinking red wine that's ready to be enjoyed now but should also cellar very well over the next decade.

Tasting Profile

Nose
Alluring fruits - vibrant dark black cherry meshed with crushed fresh dark plum. All laced with warm spices - cinnamon & nutmeg.
Palate
Oak derived spice makes its presence felt by way of Hungarian paprika and celery salt. There are layers of flavour, the sweetness of hazelnut chocolate balanced by savoury pan-seared pancetta, sandalwood and salted nori. A fine line of acid and talcy tannins make for a supple and plush mouth feel.
