Tasting Notes

Penley Estate Eos Shiraz Cabernet 2017 is a masterful expression of Australian winemaking tradition, blending the bold character of Shiraz with the refined structure of Cabernet Sauvignon. Originating from the renowned Coonawarra region, this wine benefits from the region’s unique terra rossa soils and a cool, maritime climate that fosters optimal grape ripening and depth of flavor.

This 2017 vintage reflects ideal growing conditions that enhanced grape maturity and complexity, resulting in a wine of exceptional balance and intensity. Crafted by descendants of two iconic Australian wine families, Penfold and Tolley, Penley Estate combines decades of expertise with premium Coonawarra fruit to deliver a signature blend that captures the essence of this celebrated terroir.

The nose unveils seductive aromas of dark berries, blackberry, mocha, and vanilla, layered with delicate spice notes. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, revealing flavors of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and subtle cedar nuances. Fine-grained tannins provide structure and elegance, culminating in a lingering finish that highlights the wine’s finesse and complexity.

Sourced from a private cellar, this wine exemplifies meticulous craftsmanship and the commitment to quality that defines Penley Estate. Its harmonious profile makes it an excellent companion to hearty dishes such as grilled lamb, slow-cooked stews, or aged cheeses, elevating any dining experience.

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Penley Estate's EOS blend sources premium Coonawarra Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, the region's primary varieties suited to limestone- and terra rossa-dominated soils. Coonawarra's temperate maritime climate, moderated by cooling breezes from the Southern Ocean, extends ripening and builds complexity in both varieties. The 2017 vintage was cool and moderate, delivering excellent colour and tannin ripeness despite lower-than-average warmth. Penley Estate's vineyards (or contracted sources) in Coonawarra's best microclimates benefited from the season's low disease pressure and steady ripening. Vineyard fruit was selected for natural vigour and balanced sugar-acidity maturation, reflecting Penley's quality-focused approach within Coonawarra's terroir.

Vinification

2017 EOS underwent traditional blending-wine fermentation with separate treatment of Shiraz and Cabernet parcels, optimising each variety's extraction and phenolic development. Temperature-controlled fermentation in open-top vats allowed colour development and tannin maturation. Extended post-ferment maceration, typical of Coonawarra reds, built mid-palate complexity and structure. The wine was matured in French and/or American oak for 18–20 months, integrating tannin and oak influence. Lees contact during maturation refined textural elements. Final blending optimised Shiraz and Cabernet synergy, with barrel selection informed by vintage performance and house philosophy.

About this Wine

Shiraz Blend

A red wine blend built around Shiraz, often combined with varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon or Grenache.

Penley Estate

"Penley Estate is one of the finest Coonawarra producers, fashioning wines of greater richness, nuance and aging potential than most of their peers." - Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate

A Five Star rated winery in James Halliday's Wine Companion, Penley Estate was established in 1988. Founder Kym Tolley is a storied winemaker and member of both the Tolley and the Penfolds families - two of Australia's pioneering wine families.

In their 19 years of operation, Penley Estate has amassed a huge collection of awards that includes 48 trophies and over 150 gold medals, and the brand itself has become synonymous with Coonawarra Cabernet.

South Australia

If you like Australian wine, then you probably like South Australia wine. The rich reds produced there put Australia on the wine-making map of the world. With over 40% of the countries vineyards, South Australia can rightfully call itself the wine state.

Wines are produced in several regions throughout the state, though many are naturally grouped together, like Barossa and Eden Valleys, only 15 minutes apart. They include such regions as Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Eden Valley, Coonawarra, Adelaide Hills, Kangaroo Island, Langhorne Creek, The Limestone Coast, McLaren Vale and Wrattonbully to name but a few!

Barossa Valley boasts some of the oldest vines in Australia dating back to 1843 and produces some of the world's finest Shiraz, whilst the 'terra rossa' soils of Coonawarra is most suited to producing outstanding Cabernet Sauvignons. If you're a fan of Riesling, Clare Valley is a great place to explore and for a Maritime climate not dissimilar to parts of the Italian coastline, seek out the wines from McLaren Vale.
