| Post subject: | Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz/Cabernet 08 8.99 |
70% Shiraz with 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from premium districts across Southern Australia with significant parcels from Padthaway, Barossa Valley, Wrattonbully, Langhorne Creek, McLaren Vale and Coonawarra. The 2008 vintage was warm to hot, with a prolonged heat wave in mid-March. However, grapes picked before the elevated temperatures were delivered to the winery in excellent condition, resulting in good varietal definition and balanced flavours. Elements of this wine were matured for 12 months in small oak casks, while other components were matured in stainless steel to retain a fresh fruit focus. Alc 13.5%, TA 6.3g/l, pH 3.52. Special Offer: Save 25%, £8.99 - £6.74 from 20/07 to 16/08. Available from Waitrose Wine Direct and 239 branches. Some fruit on the nose. Warm, oaky, quite baked fruit. It’s OK. 24/05/11 |
