Penfolds Koonunga Hill Chardonnay 2011
South Australia, AustraliaThis is a classic example of the trickle-down effect at Penfolds where chardonnay has been on 15 year long journey. KH is fresh, light, bright and clean and while it can please with its green apple skin, pear, honey and butter aromas and flavours it is the light lees, brioche and complexity that is most welcomed here. Koonunga Hill is still sourced from multiple districts with significant contributions from South Australia GIs Clare and Padthaway. Some 46 per cent is matured in stainless steel the rest in new and seasoned oaked barrels. Impressive for the price.Tasted: 20 January 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| AB | $15.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
