Winery: Penfold’s
Region: South Australia
Variety: Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon
 
Your Wine Guy says:
 
Previously reserved for the restaurant trade and cellar door release only, Your Wine Guy is proud to be able to offer you access to this superb limited release offering from the Penfolds stable. This‘Koonunga on steroids’ label was introduced us in the middle of '09, and every vintage since the ‘Seventy Six' has impressed with the quality that it shows on both the nose and palate. Substantiallymore powerful than the standard Koonunga Hill, the 'Seventy Six' is easy to drinkand enjoy now with moderately intense dark plum, black berry fruit characters nicely balanced amongst some fine grained tannin. A really good buy to either put in the glass now, or into the cellar for a few more years at least.

The winemaker says:
 
“it's difficult to segment Cabernet or Shiraz, together they create a plump and dense mixture with a textured finish from the oak - a reference to the original in this contemporary offer. This is a fine 'retro' release in every sense, paying homage to the original 1976 wine.” Peter Gago
 
Winery/Label Information:
 
Koonunga Hill is very much a reflection of the Penfold's winemaking style and philosophy. Since the first vintage in 1976 of Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet, the brand’s reputation has been built on widespread acclaim, and consistent high quality. Thirty years after the original release, Penfold's released the first vintage of Koonunga Hill Seventy Six, a winemaking tribute to the original and now legendary 1976 Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet.
Previously reserved for the restaurant trade and cellar door release only, Your Wine Guy is proud to be able to offer you access to this supercharged offering from the Koonunga Hill stable. The first release in 2006 of this commemorative label received the gold medal and a coveted Trophy in the 2008 Royal Sydney Wine Show for 'Best Dry Red' in commercial classes and the following 2007 vintage won the 2009 Royal Sydney Wine Show's gold medal and the Trophy for, you guessed it, 'Best Dry Red' in commercial classes.
A fantastic wine with enough strength and power to age gracefully for 5 to 10 years in the cellar but 'The 76' also has the suppleness to really be enjoyed now.
Great Value!
