"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."

"SUPERBLEND 802.A - 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 detection of malt and the faintest suggestion of polished timber (mahogany) possibly reflective of a 22-month slumber in 100% new oak? Unashamedly bold. SUPERBLEND 802.B 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 tann ins … 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 ."
