✨ Tekniske specifikationer
First released with the 1976 vintage, Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz is named after a key vineyard in the northern Barossa Valley, embodying the producer's famous philosophy of multi-regional blending. Conceived as an accessible introduction to the Penfolds house style, this wine has earned a global reputation for its remarkable consistency and value. It showcases the generous, fruit-forward character of South Australian Shiraz, sourced from premium vineyards across the region. The wine is typically matured in a mix of seasoned French and American oak, allowing the vibrant dark plum and spice characters to shine while providing a soft, structured frame. It remains a beloved staple of Australian winemaking history, offering a reliable taste of the Barossa and its surrounding terroirs.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Penfolds blev grundlagt i 1844 af dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold og hans hustru Mary på Magill Estate i South Australia og er i dag et af Australiens ældste og mest ikoniske vinhuse. Ejendommen opnåede legendarisk international anerkendelse i 1950'erne under den visionære chefvinmager Max Schubert, som skabte Penfolds Grange og revolutionerede landets vinfremstilling. Drevet af en berømt filosofi om at blande på tværs af regioner og druesorter udvælger Penfolds enestående druer fra historiske australske terroirs – herunder Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale og Coonawarra – samt fra udvalgte internationale topområder. Vinhuset er verdenskendt for kraftfulde, upåklageligt strukturerede og særdeles lagringsværdige vine anført af flagskibet Grange, Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon og den berømmede Bin-serie.
