Max's Rosé 2023
Overview
Overview
Max’s Rosé is a tribute to former Chief Winemaker Max Schubert (1948-1975). A legend in Penfolds history, Max’s constant pursuit of excellence paved the way for those that followed, and allowed the status and heritage of Penfolds to grow. Max discovered the pleasure of drinking fresh, bright Rosé on one of his early trips to Europe. This wine has all the hallmarks of a well balanced, bright young Rosé crafted with early drinking in mind.

A gentle swirl reveals scents of white strawberries, fresh raspberries, lavender talcum powder, freshly clotted cream, and a suggestion of paprika spice. Exotic and alluring!

VINTAGE CONDITIONS
Winter rain was above average, leading into what would become one of the wettest springs on record for the Adelaide Hills. Vigilance was required throughout the growing season, but it would be rewarded. With soil profiles full of moisture, growth was uninhibited and crop development was unimpeded. The growing season was cooler than average slowing vine development. With plenty of soil moisture, berry size was excellent. The cool conditions persisted through summer and delayed the start of harvest. The extra hang-time ensured the grapes developed strongly identifiable varietal characters and retained bracing acidity.
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.
