Koonunga Hill Autumn Riesling

Pork, Shellfish, Poultry, Appetizers and snacks, Cured Meat

Vintage 2022 shared many of the hallmarks of the very strong 2021 vintage. The winter rainfall was healthy, the La Niña conditions favoured South Australia. Spring temperatures were generally cooler than average with good rainfall. Conditions were optimal for budburst and fruit set with only a few isolated frost incidents. The mild weather prevailed over summer, resulting in a long slow growing season and leisurely harvest, the latest in ten years for the Clare Valley. These conditions were very conducive to growing quality grapes with strong varietal characteristics and bracing natural acidity.

Penfolds has been producing remarkable wines since 1844 and indisputably led the development of Australian fine wine in the modern era. The introduction of Penfolds Grange in 1951 forever changed the landscape of Australian fine wine. Since then a series of stand-out wines both white and red have been released under the Penfolds masthead. Peter Gago Penfolds Chief Winemaker and only the 4th custodian of Grange relishes the opportunity to bring Penfolds to the world stage and is an enthusiastic ambassador and natural educator. Penfolds came to the attention of the US market when 1990 Grange was Wine Spectator’s ‘Wine of the Year’. Since then Penfolds Grange has become one of the most collectable wines of the world and was honored to grace the front cover once again of Wine Spectator with declarations of Grange as Australia’s Icon.
