"This is a classic Penfolds red wine, that shows the loveliness and buoyancy of shiraz, while highlighting the genius of multi-regional sourcing and blending."
The aromatics open with an unmistakably Penfolds stamp. Sweet spice leads the way, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg and star anise unfolding alongside notes of custard tart and blueberry Danish. Dark fruit tones follow, mulberry and blueberry at the core, lifted by freeze-dried raspberries and white fig. Savoury nuance emerges with fresh leather and a subtle ferrous edge, adding gravitas and complexity. The nose is generous yet composed, rich without excess, confident and assured.
Silky and sleek, gliding across with depth and control. Flavours of pecan pie, hazelnut and berry coulis are layered with soaked sponge and summer pudding richness. Goji berry brightness lifts the mid-palate, while wet metal and mineral notes bring definition. Chalky, powder fine tannins provide structure and length, shaping a finish that is polished and persistent. A classic, powerful Shiraz of lineage and intent.

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 180 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.
