Taste Description

Taste Description

Nose

Awash with florals – an exotic mix of white petals immediately ascend – wafts of lily, chamomile and seringat immediately come to mind. Propelled by a fine mousse even more botanic scents are liberated/eluted - Oranger du Mexique and Yuzu Orange Citrus. Familial notes of roasted nut, vanillin pod and custard-apple remain in the very-quickly emptied glass. A subliminal tussle between disparate aromatic dispositions - fresh, forward and flirtaceous vs. delicate, assured and measured. You decide!

Flavours and Palate

A bonanza of flavours – instantly reminding of a just-baked Tarte au Citron meringuée – that ideally afford so many palate descriptors that often remain elusive. Not here. And yet subtle derivatives of raspberry pastille, nougat and vanillin bean pod still manage to cautiously circle. Lively. Assorted sherberts coupled with tingling acidity enhance and define. An array ofcitrus exemplars prance across the palate – clean and pure, without any bitterness from zest. Gentle, ethereal, no rough edges. Complete, assured.

The Penfolds Team

Key to the success of Penfolds has been a lineage of visionary winemakers. There have only ever been four Chief Winemakers at the helm of Penfolds – Max Schubert, Don Ditter, John Duval and Peter Gago, each a custodian of a rich winemaking tradition that goes back for more than 170 years.

Our current Penfolds winemaking team has more than 100 years between them as Penfolds winemakers. They are constantly refining and improving their work, whilst honouring the winemaking techniques of their predecessors.
