Special Select

2008 Coonawarra Shiraz

Penley Estate Special Select is an exceptional Shiraz from the renowned Coonawarra region, celebrated for its unique terroir that combines terra rossa soils and a cool climate to create wines of remarkable depth and character. This 2008 vintage showcases a rich ruby color that captivates the eye. The wine presents a full-bodied experience with a high level of acidity that adds brightness and vibrancy, making it wonderfully balanced. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering luscious notes of dark berries, particularly blackberry and plum, mingling seamlessly with layers of dark chocolate and subtle spice. The tannins are notably firm, providing structure and a sophisticated mouthfeel, while the wine maintains a delightful dryness that enhances its food-pairing versatility. Penley Estate Special Select is a true testament to the craftsmanship and quality that Coonawarra wines are known for.
