Koonunga Hill reds are all about freshness, generosity of flavour, richness and vivacity of fruit. These are affordable and great everyday drinking styles that reflect Penfolds winemaking.”

Crimson with purple hues.
Notes of graphite and a touch of walnut varnish. The nose has a distinctive blue-fruited and cranberry elegance.A complex amalgam of sweet and savoury notes emerges with a gentle swirl. Vanilla sponge with whipped cream, wet river pebbles, juniper berries and pink peppercorn all vie for attention.
Very fresh and lively on the palate. Freshly cut spearmint and dried lavender. Graphite from the nose continues across the palate, emerging as structural, powdery tannins. Kalamata olives and charcuterie flavours provide a savoury sensorial experience. Sweet red fruits make for a long, memorable finish.
The South-East growing districts of South Australia enjoyed above average winter rainfall, while McLaren Vale recorded well below average. September temperatures were cool with little rainfall resulting in some isolated frost events. Summer was generally hot, with high temperatures delaying veraison. Irrigation was crucial to keep vines in good health. The proximity of the Southern Ocean played an important role in moderating temperatures allowing for a high-quality harvest, albeit with smaller yields than average.

The 2006 Koonunga Hill Seventy-Six Shiraz Cabernet, with its iconic retro packaging, was released as an homage wine to the famous 1976 Koonunga Hill “Claret”, a wine that captured the imagination of avid Penfolds wine enthusiasts and collectors. The refined style of the Seventy-Six, aged in a proportion of new oak hogsheads, brings another dimension and complexity to the Koonunga Hill story.
