One's mind is immediately transported to the other side of the world when uncorking (or rather opening, as it is sealed with a screw cap) this interesting bottle. To a sunny and fascinating land, where warmth and sunshine are the protagonists. Penfolds' Koonunga Hill 76 is the purest expression of Australia's oenology, made from Shiraz for the most part and Cabernet Sauvignon for the rest. Grapes from the southernmost part of the big island continent, between Barossa, McLaren and Wrattonbully. Koonunga Hill 76 was born in 2006, thirty years after the birth of another of the winery's iconic wines, Claret, which was launched in 1976. In this case, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon perfectly complement each other, resulting in an excellent wine. Traditionally vinified in stainless steel, the wine matures in oak barrels, part French and part American, for a period of about 10 months. Bright and lively red in colour, the nose is intense and spicy, with notes of plum and dark fruit, sweet spices and hints of chocolate. The wood is there, and you can feel it, but it is not at all annoying. On the contrary, it adds a touch of elegance that does not hurt. In the mouth it is well balanced, medium-bodied, with tannins and acidity in good evidence, revealing a discreet aging potential. Game or grilled red meats. This wine is not afraid of comparison with practically anything.

It is easy to see the full potential of Chardonnay in this bottle. A versatile grape par excellence, capable of adapting to practically any climatic condition, Chardonnay can produce fresh, mineral wines or large, opulent whites with elegant notes of sweet fruit. Such is the case with Penfolds' Koonunga Hill, made from grapes harvested in two of South Australia's best known areas. Barossa and Eden Valley, where a magical mix of red soils, warm, humid climate and abundant spring rainfall give the grapes an abundance of aromatics. Penfolds' technicians then complete the work by carefully vinifying the grapes and subjecting the wine to a short period of oak aging before bottling. Straw yellow with greenish highlights, the nose reveals intense aromas, with clear hints of apple, pear, melon, lemongrass and almond. In the mouth it is fresh, creamy and well balanced. Richly fruity, it is a wine that guarantees a long, very long, persistence. Extremely versatile, it goes perfectly with white meats, but also with light first courses and salads.

A truly interesting wine, made from pure Chardonnay grapes from different wine regions of Australia. This makes Penfolds' BIN 311 a white wine that well represents the complexity and versatility of Chardonnay. The grapes, in fact, come from three distinct areas: Adelaide Hills, Tumbarumba and Tasmania. Adelaide Hills, in particular, is located south of Adelaide, with a cool Mediterranean climate characterised by cold winters and hot summers. Tumbarumba, on the other hand, is located in New South Wales and has a cool continental climate. Finally, Tasmania is an island that boasts a cool maritime climate with mild temperatures and well-distributed rainfall throughout the year. The vinification of BIN 311 takes place in small stainless steel tanks, preserving the freshness and fruity aromas. The wine then rests for 8 months in French oak barrels, about a third of which are new, acquiring complexity and elegance. The nose impresses with an intense and seductive bouquet. Hints of lemon blossom and white flowers intertwine with notes of lemon and other citrus fruits. Scents of cashews, pistachio nougat and beeswax instead reveal the presence of wood. In the mouth, it is medium-bodied, with a crisp acidity that balances the softness of the fruit. The minerality typical of certain areas combines with notes of citrus fruits, apple, pear and white peach. A touch of toasted hazelnut completes the sip, giving a long and persistent finish. It perfectly complements fish dishes, shellfish, white meats and vegetables. Try it with seafood risotto, baked salmon, roast chicken and fresh cheeses.

Magill Estate by Penfolds was born in one of South Australia's most iconic vineyards. A place steeped in history, it is one of the few urban wineries in the world and the birthplace of the legendary Penfolds Grange. The terroir of Magill Estate is characterised by complex soils, with a composition of clay and rocky soils that allow Shiraz vines to thrive, expressing their full potential. The region's Mediterranean climate, with warm summers and mild winters, favours optimal ripening of the grapes, resulting in wines of great concentration and complexity. 100% Shiraz, this noble French grape variety has found a second home in Australia and is known for its ability to express a wide range of aromas and flavours, strongly influenced by its terroir. At Magill Estate, the vines are grown using traditional and sustainable methods, ensuring excellent grape quality and a deep respect for the environment. The grapes are harvested by hand and fermented in small batches to maintain the integrity and purity of the fruit. After fermentation, the wine matures for 18 months in 300 litre French and American oak barrels. This adds complexity and depth to the wine, delicately integrating the wood notes with the fruity and spicy profile of the Shiraz. Deep red in colour, the nose offers a complex bouquet with floral hints of lavender, black fruit cake, spices and herbs, plus the inevitable slight hint of oak. In the mouth, then, it is a symphony of flavours ranging from raspberry, plum and black cherry to anise, chocolate fondue and ginger. The acidity is lively and the tannins are well evident. The finish is long and pleasant, with nuances of cola, vanillin and malt from the oak. A versatile and sophisticated wine, it pairs well with red meats, such as a beef fillet or roast lamb with herbs. For those with a sweet tooth, it can also be served with a dark chocolate cake or a cherry dessert.

The term Bin is used by the Penfolds winery to identify specific wines within their collection. Originally, Bin referred to the cellar numbers where the wines were stored and aged. Today, each Bin represents a particular cuvée. For example, this Bin 407 stands for a high quality Cabernet Sauvignon produced according to specific winemaking criteria and from specific wine-growing regions. These numbers have become a distinctive mark of Penfolds, symbolising tradition, quality and identity. Bin 407 was born in the heart of South Australia, a region known for its extraordinary variety of terroirs. Grapes are sourced from different wine growing areas such as Padthaway, Coonawarra, Wrattonbully, McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley. And each area brings unique characteristics, enriching the wine's overall profile. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, this grape variety is known for its ability to adapt to different terroirs, and in South Australia it is at its best, thanks to the ideal climatic conditions and the diversity of soils. At the end of vinification, the wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, approximately 27% of which are new, and American oak barrels, 8% of which are new. This gives Bin 407 complexity and harmony, without overpowering the fruit character of the wine. Deep and lively red in colour, the nose is immediately recognisable as a Cabernet, with notes of violets, lavender and aromas of pastry, bread crust, thyme, oregano and olives, as well as a touch of leather. Then cedar and oak. In the mouth, it is medium-bodied, with lively acidity and perfectly integrated tannins. Fruit is dominant, with redcurrant, plum and fresh rhubarb. The oak is perfectly integrated, resulting in a balanced Cabernet with no edge. Ideal with grilled red meats, roasts and game.
