The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Penfolds is an astounding success story! The estate owes its global renown to its iconic cuvée, Grange. This extraordinary wine indeed stands shoulder to shoulder with the greatest wines on the planet, earning unanimous acclaim from critics.

Simultaneously, Penfolds skillfully crafts more accessible cuvées with the same rigor and care. Syrah and chardonnay are cultivated on these Southern Australian terroirs, resulting in straightforward and flavorful wines that have garnered universal appeal.
Wine As an ambassador of the best value for money in Australian wines, the 2021 white South Australia Koonunga Hill Chardonnay showcases all the expertise of Penfolds. Crisp fruit with citrus notes, highlighted by a subtle woody tone, and a structure that is both supple and full-bodied create a perfectly balanced ensemble. Freshness and lasting flavor finish it off beautifully! This bottle is ideal for an aperitif, with dry cheeses or baked fish.
Vinification Hand harvested, aged in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and oak barrels.
The estate has chosen to package this wine with a Stelvin screw cap, preserving its freshness and eliminating any cork taint.
