More Penfolds

Grange is likely to remain positioned as Australia's flagship wine, many vintages far into the future. When Max Schubert embarked on his voyage of discovery and innovation during the late 1940s, the fledgling wine industry was relatively amateurish and fragmented. Winemaker John Duval's contribution to the evolution of Grange has also been critical. His stewardship has probably seen the greatest developments and innovation in viticulture and winemaking. A remarkable vintage Grange is the 1997, considering it's place between the great 1996 and 1998 editions

Last of the three hidden and secret Granges made by Max Schubert in defiance of a company order to cease production, the wine was released commercially after the ban was lifted. New oak was not used during the three secret vintages. Bottles were labelled Bin numbers 46, 49 and 95. The story of Grange is steeped in the Australian ethos. Max Schubert is an Australian folk hero, a lifelong winemaker who battled against the odds and then succeeded in creating one of the very great wines of the world

Magill Shiraz is a very important Penfolds single vineyard wine of great symbolic importance, the only current edition from the remaining original vineyard at the historic Estate. An elegant, medium-weight style with velvety texture and fine tannins, matured in both new French and American oak, it is a sleek, contemporary Shiraz, yet crafted in the old-fashioned way at the ancient wineworks. Hand-picked, vinified in open fermenters and then basket pressed, Penfolds Magill is an exclusive Adelaide Hills Shiraz from a grand and historical monopole

Bin A series Chardonnay is a pathfinder wine, fortuitous achievement of the consequential Penfolds white wine project. Bin 05A has evolved into a wine with a distinctive style and an integral part of the Penfolds portfolio. Exclusively Adelaide Hills Chardonnay is sourced from up to eighty vineyards with a core provenance from ten elite cooler sites. "This wine nails that precarious balance between desperate purity, nervy acidity and pristine minerality on one side, and on the other, gorgeous complexity of roast nuts, white peach and grapefruit blossom!" -Clearaboutwine

A long and illustrious history, boasts one of the very first Penfold Bin wines. The successful styling commands universal appeal due to the intense definition of fruit, a ripe, fleshy palate structure and great generousity of flavour. Bin 28 enjoys a reputation as an immensely satisfying, early drinking Shiraz, though not for the faint of heart. It is also highly valued by collectors for its ability to mature gracefully whilst offering potential for appreciation on the secondary market. Bin 28 has twice claimed Red Wine of Year at the prestigious London International Wine Challenge
