Penfolds Chardonnay Koonunga Hill 2023
This accessible and balanced white wine originates from Australia, specifically from the South Eastern Australia region, often sourcing fruit from cooler subregions like the Adelaide Hills, Padthaway, and Robe. Established in 1844, Penfolds is one of the most storied names in Australian wine, and the Koonunga Hill line was introduced in the 1970s to offer quality and consistency at an affordable price. The winery's philosophy is rooted in a 'multi-region, multi-vineyard' blending approach, allowing winemakers to select the best parcels of fruit to maintain a reliable house style regardless of vintage variations.
Wine Description
Penfolds Koonunga Hill Chardonnay presents a vibrant pale straw colour with light green hues. The sensory profile is fruit-driven and inviting, featuring aromas of yellow apple, white peach, honeydew melon, and citrus, supported by subtle notes of vanilla, creamy nougat, and toasted oak. On the palate, the wine is light to medium bodied with a 'fleshy' yet fresh texture, showcasing flavours of stone fruit, lemon curd, and lime zest. It is characterized by its balanced acidity and a fine mineral streak that provides a clean, textured finish. This 100% Chardonnay is typically matured in a combination of stainless steel and seasoned French oak to preserve its varietal character, reaching an ABV of approximately 13% to 13.5%. While the estate follows high production standards, this wine is not indicated as organic.
