One Superblend. Two Interpretations. Superblend 802. A and Superblend 802. B represents two unique interpretations of the iconic Australian blend of cabernet sauvignon and shiraz, sourced from unique parcels destined for Penfolds flagships.
The Superblend 802A component was aged separately in new American oak hogsheads for 22 months prior to being blended. The cabernet sauvignon makes its structural presence felt comprising 68% of the blend, while the 32% shiraz contribution adds generosity. Unashamedly bold, immediately Penfolds.
Stature, power, and might. The framework of the cabernet in the presence of 100% new American oak hogsheads projects a 707esque presence, within which a one-third inclusion of shiraz builds dramatic palate depth and intrigue. It is as if all the grandeur of the first 707, second grange, and third 389 have been united in one dramatic whole. The result delivers structural endurance, a grand display of monumental fruit, and a line and length that hark back to the glory days of Bin 60a and the ensuing legends of Penfolds cabernet shiraz, A-class indeed.
