✨ Technical Specifications
Named after one of Penfolds' historic vineyards in the Barossa Valley, the Koonunga Hill range was first introduced in 1976 and has since established a global reputation for quality and value. The Koonunga Hill Cabernet Sauvignon is a reflection of Penfolds' multi-regional blending philosophy, sourcing premium fruit from across South Eastern Australia. This approach allows winemakers to craft a consistent, fruit-driven style that showcases the classic structural elements of Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is typically matured in seasoned French and American oak, resulting in a generous palate of dark berry fruits, subtle spice, and structured tannins that pay homage to Penfolds' legendary winemaking heritage.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1844 by Dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold and his wife Mary at the Magill Estate in South Australia, Penfolds is one of Australia's oldest and most iconic wine producers. The estate achieved legendary international acclaim during the 1950s under visionary chief winemaker Max Schubert, who created Penfolds Grange and revolutionized the country's winemaking techniques. Driven by a celebrated philosophy of multi-regional and multi-varietal blending, Penfolds sources exceptional fruit across historic Australian terroirs—such as the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra—as well as select premier global regions. The house is universally revered for powerful, impeccably structured, and long-lived wines, led by its flagship Grange, Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, and celebrated Bin series.
