Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 2007
Henty, Victoria
Part of the premium chardonnay line. Supremely fine-grained and elegant, sumptuously flavored and deeply layered chardonnay exudes poise and refinement. Delicate and complex, scented with citrus and blossom, white peach, nectarine, melon and grapefruit, with undertones of bacon and smoky oak.
Food matches: Rabbit, candied lemon peel, pumpkin, bacon, coffee and coriander seed
Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet 2010
South Australia
Deep red-purple with intense raspberry and blackberry aromas and a ripe structured palate with saturated blackberry fruit flavors and rich tannins. Very seductive sweet fruit style.
Food matches: Beef, cheese and lamb
Penfolds Thomas Hyland Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
South Australia
Displaying varietal berry fruits on nose with hint of nutmeg and oak on background. Plum, coffee and vanillin flavors stand out on palate, with ripe tannins providing good balance.
Food matches: Beef
Penfolds Bin 8 Cabernet Shiraz 2010
South Australia
Part of popular Bin range. Black cherry, dark chocolate and cherry liqueur on nose. Across the palate, splashes of chocolate and mint combine with hints of rosemary and warmed spice. Some toasty notes evident from balanced, integrated oak.
Food matches: Herb-encrusted rack of lamb
Penfolds Bin 150 Shiraz 2008
South Australia
Impenetrable black core with purple rim. Wafts of soy and oolong tea ascend. Oak is absorbed, allowing stylish Barossa fruits to weave their magic. Fresh, vibrant and youthful. Texturally, a slinky, polished sheen massaged by very fine and grainy tannins.
Food matches: Rabbit, vanilla linguini
Penfolds RWT Barossa Valley Shiraz 2006
Barossa Valley, South Australia
Joyful, vibrant and supple shiraz whose open and uncomplicated expression of pristine blackberry, cassis and plum-like flavor is lifted by spicy perfume and handsome mocha and vanilla presence of new fine-grained French oak.
Food matches: Rabbit, pork and duck terrine
