Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet Red Wine Dry Australia (6 x 0.75l)

• STORY: The blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon is considered a classic among Australian red wine blends. Even if it was actually "invented" by the Provencals, not the Australians (no, not the Swiss either), it undoubtedly owes its international fame Down Under.

• VINIFICATION: For its classic, Penfolds classically marries the best grapes from selected prime locations in South Australia, including of course the famous strongholds of both grape varieties, Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale (Shiraz) and Coonawarra (Cabernet Sauvignon).

• AROMA: deep crimson red with violet highlights Scent: seductive, lush, fruity bouquet of sweetly ripe dark berries, underlaid with Mediterranean herbs (rosemary), spices and fine hints of leather (Cabernet) and olives (Syrah) typical of the grape variety

• RATING: juicy, full-bodied and complex on the palate, with the fresh dark-sweet berry fruit of the bouquet (blackberries, blackcurrants) and plump hints of malt, caramel, cocoa, dark mousse au chocolat lush but never heavy, thanks to the fresh, perfectly integrated acidity, and already beautifully accessible, but at the same time equipped with the classic Koonung Hill potential

• SERVING RECOMMENDATION: with roast lamb and beef with Mediterranean herbs and spices, roast duck, stuffed tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, moussaka, oven dishes with an oriental touch or mature hard cheese
