Penfolds Block 42 Cabernet 2004 750ml
The 10-acre Block 42 was planted only 30 years after the great
1855 Bordeaux Classification and comprises the oldest plantings
of Cabernet Sauvignon continuously produced in the world. The
recent 2004 vintage resulted in beautifully aromatic, perfectly
balanced and ripe Cabernet Sauvignon from Block 42, Kalimna
Vineyard. The fruit was handpicked and fermented in ‘headed
down’ static fermenters. The wine completed fermentation
entirely in new oak hogsheads.
