Penley Estate was born from the marriage of two of South Australia's pioneering wine families, the Penfolds and the Tolleys. Established in the mid 1980s from a few hectares of vines in the famous Coonawarra region, the estate shot to prominence in 1989 when Phoenix Cabernet Sauvignon won Gold at the prestigious Adelaide Wine Show. Today, the estate has grown significantly to over 80 hectares of vines and a state of the art winery, run by 5th generation family members, sisters Ang & Bec Tolley. With winemaker Kate Goodman, they have revitalised the estate and created a new style of Coonawarra wines: softer and more elegant than Coonawarra sometimes produces.
Kate Goodman has been recognised for her brilliant work by being awarded Australian Winemaker of the Year in the influential 2024 James Halliday’s Wine Companion
The Eos is one the Penley’s flagship red wines. Batches and varieties were fermented separately, in small 2 tonne open fermenters. Whole berry fermentation, with no added yeast. 18 months in french oak, from 5 different coopers. 50% new oak, 50% seasoned oak barrels for 18 months
A contemporary Australian blend of Shiraz and Cabernet. Brooding and fragrant, a nose of mulberry, plum, licorice and spice draw you into the wine. The palate is dense and powerful yet without heaviness. A layered and succulent core is supported by silky creamy tannins and integrated French oak. A wine of excellent concentration and persistence. The generosity and volume provided by the Shiraz, whilst the Cabernet contributes to the line and length.
