WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Penfolds Koonunga Hill Chardonnay is produced using a blend of fermentation techniques, with a portion fermented in stainless steel tanks and another in oak barrels. Maturation involves resting in French oak, with some indications of seasoned barrels or older barriques for a period of around six months. The winemaking process is guided by Penfolds' overarching philosophy of multi-region, multi-vineyard blending to ensure a consistent and high-quality final product.
