Penfolds Koonunga Hill Cabernet Sauvignon 2024

Why We Love This

Penfolds Koonunga Hill Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic Cabernet that captures the heart of Penfolds' reputation—bold, structured, and full of flavour. With ripe dark fruits and a smooth oak influence, this wine offers both depth and approachability. It’s a perfect go-to for those who appreciate a well-balanced red that’s rich in flavour but not too heavy-handed. Whether you're having a quiet evening or a dinner with friends, this Cabernet hits all the right notes.

Tasting Notes

• Taste: Expect layers of ripe blackcurrant, plum, and a touch of blackberry, rounded out by a hint of spice. The Cabernet Sauvignon brings a firm structure with smooth tannins and a subtle oak influence that adds just the right amount of richness without overpowering the fruit.
• Aroma: The nose is inviting, with dark berries—blackcurrant and blueberry—blending with warm spices like cinnamon, and a hint of vanilla from the oak aging. It’s a complex, layered bouquet.
• Finish: Smooth and well-rounded, with soft tannins and a gentle, peppery spice that lingers. The dark fruit flavors and spices leave a lasting impression on the palate.
• Food Match: Perfect with grilled meats like steak, roasted lamb, or even a rich pasta dish. It also pairs beautifully with hard cheeses or a dark chocolate dessert.
