One Superblend. Two Interpretations. Curiosity and experimentation delivers two new wines made from parcels destined
for Penfolds flagships: Superblend 802.A and 802.B Cabernet Shiraz. Carefully selected from the coveted 2018 South
Australian vintage, t
he wines represent two unique interpretations of the iconic Australian blend of cabernet sauvignon
and shiraz. 802.A components were aged separately in new American oak hogsheads for 22 months prior to being
blended. The cabernet sauvignon makes its str
uctural presence felt comprising 68% of the blend, while the 32% shiraz
contribution adds generosity. Unashamedly bold, immediately Penfolds.

Full-bodied and generous. A compote of blood plum, fig and goji berries. The oscillation noted above now manifested as a sweet buttered/toffeed glaze sitting alongside a roasted reduction avec tomato oil. Malleable and chunky/grippy tannins. A detect ion of malt and the faintest suggestion of polished timber (mahogany) possibly reflective of a 22-month slumber in 100% new oak? Unashamedly bold.
