Penfolds has been producing an impressive array of wines since 1844 and indisputably led the development of Australian fine wine into the modern era.
Penfolds has played a pivotal role in the evolution of modern winemaking. From early beginnings as a provider of iron-rich tonic wines produced by Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold and his wife Mary for Adelaide’s fledgling society, it became Australia’s largest producer of fortified wines by the time of Australia’s Federation in 1901.
Penfolds Grange is arguably Australia’s most famous wine and the story of its creation by legendary winemaker Max Schubert is a modern tale of imagination, a battle against the odds and redemption. Alongside Grange, Penfolds has established a remarkable portfolio of expressive wines based on a signature method of winemaking, developed and refined over decades.
The Penfolds house style is distinctive and compelling across both red and white wines. This is also a testament to the integrity and collaborative effort of the longstanding winemaking team.
