The Penfolds Collection 2022 release is led by the 68th consecutive release of Penfolds 2018 Grange – a testament to the multi-regional blending philosophy that underpins Grange DNA, offering an abundance of complexity.
This much anticipated vintage has received an extraordinary seven perfect 100 point scores from leading wine critics; Andrew Caillard MW, Ken Gargett (World of Fine Wine), Nick Stock (JamesSuckling.com), Tony Love, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Anders Enquiest (Livets Goda) and Wilfred Williw Wong (Wine.com).
For the first time in Penfolds history, the Collection release in 2022 comprises three country of origin portfolios – Australian, Californian and the inaugural French release, showcasing Penfolds enduring ‘House Style’.
Penfolds ‘House Style’ embraces the freedom to explore premium viticultural regions across Australia and the world, with a global approach to winemaking – unrestricted by region or vineyard. Penfolds ambition to make wine outside of Australia started decades ago, and over time, skills, interest, and experimentation has grown. A rich tradition of research, curiosity and wine trial continues to guide Penfolds winemaking endeavours in Australia, Champagne, Napa, Paso Robles California and now Bordeaux, France.
In the spirit of innovation and experimentation, Penfolds is thrilled to announce two new wines in the range, Superblend.
Introducing the California Collection an endeavour more than twenty years in the making.
Genius… Renegade... Innovator... Legend!
