The Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 is a powerful yet elegantly structured red wine from Australia that embodies the distinctive terroir of South Australia. Made from the classic grape varieties Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine epitomises the legendary style of Penfolds – intense, well-balanced and with impressive depth. The grapes are harvested by hand, carefully selected and then gently crushed to maximise the release of aromas.


Fermentation takes place in small wooden casks at a controlled temperature, allowing the wine to develop its aromatic precision and depth. The Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon is then aged for 10 months in oak barrels, which lends it structure, complexity and its characteristic spiciness. The result is an expressive Australian red wine that impresses with its balance of ripe fruit, lively freshness and subtle oak. It epitomises Penfolds’ philosophy of creating wines of international calibre that also possess an authentic regional character.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 displays a deep purplish-red colour with violet highlights. On the nose, an intense spectrum of aromas unfolds, featuring blackberries, blackcurrants, blueberries and mulberries, accompanied by subtle notes of vanilla, dark chocolate and green peppers, which arise from ageing in wooden casks. On the palate, it is full-bodied, complex and velvety, with ripe tannins and an excellent balance between fruit and spice. The finish is long-lasting, characterised by dark berry fruit, subtle oaky notes and a refined, elegant structure.

The Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 is a versatile accompaniment to robust, aromatic dishes. It is particularly recommended with goose breast served with ginger-red cabbage and marjoram, ossobuco, beef fillet with pepper sauce or rack of lamb with a herb crust. It also reveals its full expressiveness when paired with spinach gratin with almonds or mature cheeses. The ideal serving temperature is 15–18 °C, and it will continue to improve until 2032. A classic Australian red wine that impresses equally with its structure, intensity and elegance.
