Type of Closure: Screwcap
Current Vintage: 2021 Producer: Penfolds Wines Grape Variety: Shiraz/Syrah Agent: Treasury Wine Estates Vinification Details: Above-average rainfall offered the grapevines across South Australia healthy soil moisture profiles in the lead up to the growing season. Spring was quite cool, conditions that initially slowed down vine growth. Temperatures warmed in October and little irrigation was required. It was a season that challenged grape growers, who had to work hard to control vigour and crop size. Weather conditions during harvest were generally dry favouring fully ripened grapes with well-developed colours and flavours. History: Penfolds Koonunga Hill has always aimed to deliver quality, value and consistency. The original 1976 Koonunga Hill Claret is a legendary wine that is still drinking well today. A favourite at Penfolds Re-corking Clinics, collectors value its quality and longevity. Koonunga Hill Shiraz joined the range in 2002, a contemporary reflection of Penfolds multi-regional sourcing philosophy. Shiraz from the warmer districts of South Australia is carefully blended, with the Barossa Valley always well represented. Regional Information: This wine was sourced from our vineyards from the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley and Langhorne Creek.
