Producing the Quintessential Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon was one of Jim’s life-long endeavours. His drive, passion and endless pursuit for quality were the enduring attributes to which we all aspire. Jim’s legacy can be seen in each of our wines as we strive to achieve a perfect balance of varietal and regional intensity, but with an elegance and charm which invite and entice the drinker to enjoy a second glass. For Jim.

Elegant yet powerful Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon. Lifted aromas of blackberry and plum, dried sage, mint and tobacco with overlaid with cedar oak notes. An intense and flavour-filled palate of plums, blackberries complemented with sturdy but well balance tannins holding together a long lingering finish.

A round rich palate with a good backbone of tight, but deliciously mouth-watering tannins. Generously flavoured but retaining elegance. Structured to age beautifully over the long term but round enough to be enjoyed while the primary fruits are fresh and vibrant.

Penley Estate Helios Cabernet is the flagship release from a renowned Coonawarra vineyard, representing the “best of the best” fruit crafted under the guidance of Kate Goodman, one of Australia’s most respected winemakers. The wine is made with wild yeast, open fermentation, and extended maceration, then matured for 18 months in French oak (with a significant portion of new barrels). This results in a wine with deep concentration, power and elegance.
