The Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz 2023 is a powerful, quintessentially Australian red wine with an international reputation. It comes from the long-established Penfolds estate, which has stood for quality, innovation and characterful wines from South Australia since 1844. The Koonunga Hill Linie has been a flagship of the winery for decades, offering wines with excellent structure, rich fruitiness and ageing potential – perfectly suited to both newcomers and connoisseurs seeking an accessible yet superbly vinified Shiraz.

The 2023 vintage boasts a full-bodied profile that reflects the typical style of the Australian Shiraz (Syrah) grape variety in its purest form: powerful, spicy and fruit-driven. The wine was aged partly in American and partly in French oak, which lends it additional depth, vanilla notes and an elegant oak structure. With an alcohol content of 14.5 % Vol., this red wine is intense, warming and yet well-balanced – ideal for connoisseurs seeking an expressive taste experience.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Koonunga Hill Shiraz displays a deep, dark ruby red colour with violet highlights. On the nose, it unfolds an intense bouquet of dark wild berries, blackberries and black cherries, accompanied by spicy notes such as black pepper, cinnamon, liquorice and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, juicy and supple, with ripe tannins, well-integrated oak and a harmonious balance between fruit and power. The finish is long and rounded, leaving a lasting impression of dark fruit and subtle spice.

Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz is the perfect accompaniment to hearty dishes such as beef steak, lamb chops, game or braised beef with rosemary. It also pairs superbly with barbecues, mature hard cheeses or a spicy chilli con carne. Thanks to its structure, it is ideal for autumnal evenings, festive dinners or as a premium red wine for cosy get-togethers. In short: a versatile red wine with depth and character – typically Australian, typically Penfolds.
