Koonunga Hills '76 Red Wine Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon 75cl

Since its inception, Koonunga Hill has always aimed to deliver quality, value and consistency. The original 1976 Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet is a legendary wine that is still drinking well today. A perennial favourite at Re-corking Clinics and at auction, collectors highly value its quality and longevity. Koonunga Hill Seventy Six is a multi-regional South Australian blend of Shiraz and Cabernet, a wine style that has played a pivotal role. COLOUR: Crimson with a glossy and bright lustre. NOSE: An instant ascent of fruits… lifted raspberry fruit jube/fruit pastille. Moroccan spices and vanilla pod shroud meaty/crackling elements … very Penfolds, very Koonunga Hill! A skerrick of cedar oak /pencil shavings; a reminder of the wine’s age at this point –undoubtedly soon to be absorbed & concealed. PALATE: Balanced and complete. Spicy and fruit-driven… however, this time it is blackberry not raspberry jubeson palate. Non-obtrusive, yet just recognisable oak detected on finish. Softened tannins and ‘just-right’ acidity invoke textural allure. Ready herewith!
