Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet Space Edition

The Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet from Penfolds is the entry into the Penfolds universe — uncomplicated, fruit-driven, and immediately accessible. The Space Edition bears a special label, but remains true to the proven Koonunga Hill style in terms of vinification.

Penfolds has been rooted in South Australia since 1844 and is one of the country's most famous wineries. The Koonunga Hill was conceived from the start as an everyday wine — reliable, varietally true, and blended to the same style in every vintage. The cuvée of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the South Australia growing regions, including Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale.

In the glass, it shows deep purple. The nose brings ripe blackberry, plum jam, and Mediterranean herbs, plus a slight hint of leather and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine presents itself full-bodied with soft tannins, restrained acidity, and a short, fruity finish with a caramel note.

• Drinking temperature: 16–18 °C
• Pairs well with: Pulled pork, grilled beef, mature cheddar, or hearty pasta with meat sauce
