About this wine
Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon
The Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet is one of Australia's best-known red blends. First released in 1976, it combines Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon from vineyards across South Australia, with the Shiraz providing generous fruit and spice while the Cabernet contributes structure and fine tannins. It is designed to be approachable when young but has the ability to develop with a few years in bottle.
