Penley Estate Coonawarra 2018

Redcurrant and musk favours with the whole bunch fermentation bringing structure and texture to the palate. Savoury mouthcoating tannins. Deliciously savoury. On the nose, delicately perfumed and fragrant with aromas of raspberry, cherry and sweet spices.

The name Penley Estate comes from the amalgamation of our families, Penfold and Tolley, two pioneering South Australian wine families and was born in 1988. Today the estate is owned by sisters Ang & Bec Tolley, and like their ancestors they are strong, resilient and determined women. Their history is a rich mix of endeavour, passion and vision with a touch of scandal and madness thrown in for good measure. The region of Coonawarra is a 16km strip covered with a soil rich in iron and nutrients, and has become one of the most renowned terroir soils in the world.
