2021 Penny’s Hill Single Vineyard Shiraz

South Australian vineyard baron and wine mogul Warren Randall recently purchased the Penny’s Hill estate and with it he has undertaken a smart packaging revamp of the brand. Produced from a vineyard planted in 1991, this superb Shiraz was matured in French oak puncheons, of which 26% were new and the remaining 1-3 year old oak for a period of 15 months. Only the best barrels were selected for the final blend.

Plush, powerful and opulent, this is rich, sumptuous McLaren Vale Shiraz at its absolute best.

Impenetrable pitch black heart with a very deep dark red black hue. Soaring from the glass are heady ripe blackberry and liquorice scents which are complimented by some dark plum, gently toasted vanillin cedar, dark chocolate and spicy fennel notes. Rich and lavish in its feel across the palate, opulent blackberry, liquorice, dark chocolate and dark plum flavours engulf the mouth. Vanillin oak, subtle earthy fennel, mocha and spice characters form the underbelly. Boasting fantastic power, textural volume and velvety tannins it concludes very long, plush and seductive.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
