Description
Savour a 96pt Coonawarra Cabernet Shiraz from top-rated Penley Estate – and exceptional winemaker Kate Goodman. Halliday's Winemaker of the Year 2024.
For John Lehmann, writing in The Australian, this is: "A wine to linger over, right from the first sniff – smoky, earthy notes give way to bramble and blackberries, then tamarind and five spice. The complexity continues in the mouth, juicy from blackberry and plum but allied to bold, grippy tannins and a velvety mouthfeel overall."
“The '22 Eos is matured in 40% new French oak from a mix of coopers. Aromas of boysenberries off the tree, bleeding pomegranate and rhubarb stem, iron-enriched soils, resting meat and wattleseed spice. There is adzuki bean sweetness with a rush of powdery tannins that sweeps you right off your feet. Once you’ve made it back safely to earth you'll ponder just how mysterious and thought provoking a well-handled Aussie cab shiraz blend can be. There is a creaminess like the very highest quality dark chocolate, an interplay of bitterness and luxury that lingers across the palate. Truly a wine of intrigue and beauty. 96pts” (Shanteh Wale, The Halliday Wine Companion).
"In '88, Kym, Ang and Bec Tolley joined forces to buy a block of land in Coonawarra – Penley Estate was underway, the amalgamation of a 5th-generation wine family Penfold and Tolley." (Halliday).
