2021 Penfolds 65F By NIGO Cabernet Shiraz
The 2021 vintage will be fondly remembered for decades to come. A mild growing season prevailed across the growing regions of South Australia with good spring rainfall and warmer- than-average temperatures during budburst and flowering. Overall, the summer and autumn conditions were cooler-than-average, allowing grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. An outstanding vintage for both Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.
Matured in hand-selected French oak barriques, 65F exudes Penfolds House Style. From block selection to regional assemblage, this Cabernet Shiraz blend was mindfully considered yet craft-led at every step. Sourced from prized vineyards across South Australia, Penfolds 65F celebrates the iconic Australian blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Displaying dark fruited saturation accompanied by a modern gloss, this limited-edition release is immediately Penfolds.
Penfolds Tasting Notes:
A mouth-watering and compact palate, with fine grain and powdery tannins. More blueberry! Blueberry soufflé, with crème anglaise spiked with demerara sugar. The palate is balanced with freshly sliced jamón, fennel and crostini. While still tightly coiled, the palate is complete with outstanding balance – all elements in harmony.
