Koonunga Hill

Anybody in the know will tell you that the Penfolds journey begins with Koonunga Hill – a gateway into the Penfolds collection of wines, and house style. Koonunga Hill has established a global reputation for value, quality and consistency. First released in 1976, Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet not only represented a classic South Australian blend - the intention of Max Schubert from the very beginning - but it created a sensation; it offered buyers a ‘real Penfolds red wine’ at a working man’s prices. Today, the tradition and expectations of the Koonunga Hill range continues, offering unparalleled richness, balance and lasting quality at a modest price point. “Koonunga Hill is very much a scaled-up boutique wine. The hand of the winemaker is evident at every stage, from the vineyard to final bottling. Batch vinification in stainless steel fermenters, maturation in seasoned oak, meticulous classification and blending all contribute to the overall consistency and quality of Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet,” – Peter Gago.
