Best Wine of Show
Penny's Hill 2023 Single Vineyard Grenache

This single vineyard, varietal Grenache surpassed 629 entries to be named the Best Wine of Show for 2024.

“this wine stood out like a beacon within its class, and to ultimately be chosen as the Best Wine of the Show is testament to both detailed winemaking and a pedigree vineyard site. The wine displayed impressively vibrant red cherry fruit, delicate florals and a subtle whole bunch complexity, together with a sweet fruited yet savoury texture, crunchy acidity and chalky tannin structure. This is benchmark Grenache indeed.” said Andrew Thomas, McLaren Vale Wine Show Chair of Judges.
