2022 Penley Estate Project Preservative Free Cabernet Sauvignon

Preservative-free wine in Coonawarra?! Yes... it's a thing...

Well, at least it is at Penley! Kate Goodman is smashing through boundaries all over the place and here's a great case in point. It's Coonawarra Cabernet, with no oak and no sulphur added, making the brightest, juiciest, most playful example of this iconic Australian wine style you could imagine.

The great thing here is that it still scratches that classic Cabernet itch. But it's all about lively blue fruit and supple tannins so it's made for your immediate enjoyment. What a coup for coup-na-warra!

Just 150 dozen made.

"Nailed it. Such energy and unbridled character. Such a joyous expression of Coonawarra Cabernet. Yes."
- 93 pts, Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

"It's a serious cabernet with a fresh, ready-to-go persona."
- 93 pts, Campbell Mattinson (Halliday Wine Companion)
