Winemaker Notes
The 2005 Condor Shiraz Cabernet expresses distinctive Coonawarra regionality and structure unique to the Penley Estate property. This complex, full-bodied wine leads with ripe sweet berry on the nose followed by aromas of pepper spice, blackberry and subtle oak. Tantalizing flavors of dark berries, exotic spices and chocolate are heightened by the velvety texture and finish.
Drink now or cellar for five to seven years for additional complexity.

Penley Estate is located in the center of Australia's most famous Cabernet region: Coonawarra. Continuing a family tradition that spans five generations, the winery was established in 1988 when the Tolley children continued the winemaking heritage of their pioneering families, Penfold and Tolley, both storied names in the Australian wine industry. In 1844, Mary Penfold defied stereotypes and was the driving force behind the establishment of McGill Estate. Similarly, from 1948-1961, Gladys Penfold Hyland was Penfold's Chairman of the Board. Their descendants, sisters Bec and Ang Tolley, run Penley Estate, proudly channeling the vim and might of their ancestors. Penley Estate's 240 acres of vineyards were planted atop Coonawarra's "terra rossa" soils with the aim of producing terroir-driven wines with distinctive regional character, and is now regarded as one of the region's leading Cabernet and Shiraz producers
