SKU: PEN169CAB19GFT
Created to reflect a contemporary winemaking approach, emphasising both regionality and maturation of cabernet sauvignon in fine grained French oak. A style that is immediately Penfolds, whilst simultaneously illustrative of its ongoing search for diversity and style separation. A classic reflection of the region and a testament of Penfolds longstanding commitment to the vineyards of Coonawarra.

Wine Style

Red - big, bold, full-bodied

Palate

Tight, fine and focussed. At this stage pre-release, much still to be resolved in bottle, yet fruits are immediately and brazenly revealed – red mulberry, red plums, persimmon. Endowed with a statuesque framework and definition yet leaving flavours alone… a touch of vanillin bean and Coonawarra red brick dust and chalkiness, and dare we say – limestone! Racy acidity needs to settle (as it will), yet the tannins are already relaxed – fine and silky … elongating ever so intriguingly on the back palate. Still so tightly bound – awaiting time to fatten up in bottle. Patience required, as is more often than not the want of Coonawarra cabernet sauvignon!

”Matured for 17 months in French hogsheads (56% new, 44% 1yo). The excellent quality of the 2019 Coonawarra vintage comes through in this classic cool-climate cabernet sauvignon. Cassis/blackcurrant is the driver, and persistent but fine and savoury tannins the engine for long distance travel. A wine for generational pleasure.”
– James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion
