WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet is produced using grapes sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia. Following harvest, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The resulting wine is then aged for 10 months in seasoned oak barrels, incorporating subtle influences from French and American oak. Some vineyards utilized in the sourcing of these grapes are managed with sustainable cultivation practices.
