2018 Superblend 802A & 802B Duo

2018 Superblend 802A & 802B Duo

2018 Superblend 802A & 802B Duo

One Superblend. Two Interpretations. A limited release, made from parcels destined for our flagships. This Duo box showcases the coveted pair of limited-edition, first-release wines; Superblend 802-A and Superblend 802-B – from the exceptional 2018 vintage. Both wines were crafted from the highest quality shiraz and cabernet sauvignon parcels, destined for Penfolds flagships. Two siblings, differently assembled and raised in different environments. This powerful pair is designed to be collected.

The Superblend 802.A components were aged separately in new American oak hogsheads for 22 months prior to being blended. The cabernet sauvignon makes its structural presence felt comprising 68% of the blend, while the 32% shiraz contribution adds generosity. Unashamedly bold, immediately Penfolds.

802.B varietal composition is close to evenly split with cabernet sauvignon contributing 55% and shiraz 45% of the blend respectively. The components were married immediately post vintage, completing 19 months maturation as a blend in French oak hogsheads.This wine will reward careful cellaring for several decades. An intriguing counterpoint to its American oak sibling.

2018 Superblend 802A & 802B Duo

Colour

SUPERBLEND 802.A CABERNET SHIRAZ Dark, deep crimson red

SUPERBLEND 802.B CABERNET SHIRAZ Deep, bright dense crimson, black core.

Nose

SUPERBLEND 802.A CABERNET SHIRAZ Full-bodied and generos.A compote of blood plum, fig and goji berries.The oscillation noted above now manifested as a sweet buttered/toffeed glaze sitting alongside a roasted reduction avec tomato oil. Malleable and chunky/grippy tannins. Unashamedly bold.

SUPERBLEND 802.B CABERNET SHIRAZ Even – an excellent line across palate; fine and persistent. Acidity – more than likely aligned to the fruit descriptors noted: cumquat, pomegranate and persimmon. A grated texture with gritty tannins … and its savory demeanor also contributing to a ‘textural dryness’.

Palate

SUPERBLEND 802.A CABERNET SHIRAZ Formic and familial ... barrel ferment, stylish oak, Penfolds.An oscillation between bursts of sweetened crème brûlée crust and a savoury jus reduction.Scents of cola nut, star anise and curry leaf add to the complexity of the majestic aromatic offer.

SUPERBLEND 802.B CABERNET SHIRAZ Youthful and fresh. An ascent of dark summer pudding aromatics, underpinned by a blackberry/mulberry/loganberry fruit base. Citrus higher notes (possibly) compliments of French oak … the sandalwood and vanillin accompaniment, definitely so!

ONE SUPERBLEND.
TWO INTERPRETATIONS.

Two limited releases, made from parcels destined for our flagships. This powerful pair were released sequentially, but are designed to be collected together.
