Reserve

2006 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon

The Penley Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2006 vintage showcases the renowned characteristics of Coonawarra, an exceptional winegrowing region in Australia. This medium-bodied red wine captivates with its deep, vibrant crimson hue. On the palate, it offers a delightful balance of high acidity that invigorates the senses, while rich tannins provide a firm structure, enhancing the wine's aging potential. The fruit intensity is prominent, delivering luscious notes of blackcurrant and plum, intertwined with hints of dark chocolate and cedar that reflect its time in oak. Its dryness gives this full-bodied wine a sophisticated character, making it an ideal companion for hearty dishes or a cozy evening by the fire.

From juicy, full-bodied Shiraz and bold Rhône-style blends to deliciously buttery, oak-touched Chardonnay and surprisingly elegant Rieslings, South Australia is renowned for its wide array of crowd-pleasing wines. The key is the state's diverse geography and climate. With hot, dry regions like Riverland and cool, coastal areas like the Adelaide Hills, winemakers have an incredible range of grapes and styles at their disposal.

It is also home to world-famous regions like Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Clare Valley.
