Introducing One by Penfolds. Designed in partnership with Human Made founder NIGO, One by Penfolds celebrates the idea of ‘oneness’. Oneness embraces what makes us all different and unique, but also the things that bring us together – as represented by the winemaking regions from where the One by Penfolds range is made around the world. Sourced from the 2023 vintage, fruit for One by Penfolds Shiraz was selected based on style and character from vineyards across Australia.

An exotic aroma profile, with spices to the fore. Pink peppercorns and black cardamom notes captivate. The fruit notes are bright and charming, with red currants, raspberry and pomegranate shining through. Adding further intrigue is a suggestion of orange liqueur, reminiscent of a duck a l'orange reduction.
Winter rainfall was above average, providing a solid foundation for spring budburst. October was significantly wetter and cooler than average, however no spring frost events were recorded. December was also cooler than average before a heat spike late in the month. Conditions for flowering were favourable. On balance, summer was close to long term average for both rainfall and temperature, without any significant heatwaves. The growing season was slow and steady, tracking at least a week later than the long-term average. Harvest was an orderly affair with some lovely parcels of high-quality shiraz.
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.
