"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,
the 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 st
ructural presence felt comprising 68% of the blend, while the 32% shiraz
contribution adds generosity. Unashamedly bold, immediately Penfolds."

"Even – an excellent line across palate; fine and persistent. Acidity – more than likely aligned to the fruit descriptors noted: cumquat, pomegranate and persimmon. A grated texture with gritty tannins … and its savoury demeanour also contributing to a ‘textural dryness’. Dusty, shaved dark-chocolate flavours (unlike nose) and a sprinkle of chocolate dust and sweet paprika. A challenge to unravel varietal components – no tension, relaxed in tandem."
