Max's constant pursuit of excellence paved the way for those who followed in his footsteps and also allowed the status and heritage of Penfolds Winery to grow. A more approachable Penfolds style at release – ideally shelf to glass, save the cellar.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Garnet red run with blood plum core Nose: Fresh red limits, in particular cranberry and red currants dominate the aromatic spectrum. Wafts of wild white strawberries, fresh vanilla pod and panacotta cream encourage further exploration. A further swirl reveals subtle middle eastern spice nuances of sumac and sweet paprika. Palate: The aromatic spectrum flows onto the palate with an invigorating lash of cranberries and red currants. It is a textured wine, evenly balanced with bright acidity and focused fine tannins supporting expressive red fruits. Oak derived exotic spices of nutmeg and black cardamom pod add to layers of flavour complexity.

Penfolds has had its success driven by generations of visionaries and innovators. From its start in 1844 to today, science, art and innovation came together to drive Penfolds to become one of Australia's most famed and respected winemakers.
With the success of early sherries and fortified wines, Dr Christopher and Mary Penfold planted the vine cuttings they carried on their way over here to Australia.
Dr Penfold's medical reputation grew alongside the company, with Mary running the winery. With early Clarets and Rieslings gaining popularity, and Christopher passing, Mary assumed complete responsibility for the winery, which helped Penfolds see years of determination and endeavour.
The rest is history.
Today, despite its great success, Penfolds doesn't rest. Celebrating their 170th anniversary, Penfolds continues to hold dear the philosophies and legends.
1844 to Evermore!
