Tasting Notes
Bright pale yellow in colour. Very harmonious, the elegant vanilla note, the citrus fruit with a hint of pineapple and minerality. The first vintage of Koonunga Hill Chardonnay was 1991. Christopher Rawson Penfold and his wife Mary arrived in Australia from West Sussex, England, in 1844. The doctor was a firm believer in the medical benefits of wine. The couple planted a vineyard and made wine which Penfold prescribed to his patients from his practice on the eastern outskirts of Adelaide. As his practice grew, Mary became more and more involved in running the winery and also oversaw viticulture and grape blending. So were born the beginnings of what was to become Australia’s most famous wine brand
