Penfolds' legacy is deeply rooted in the production of fortified wines, a style that dominated the Australian wine industry for over a century and predates the estate's famous dry reds. The 50 Year Old Rare Aged Tawny Series Two represents the absolute zenith of this blending heritage, drawing from precious, historic parcels matured in seasoned oak casks at the Kalimna and Magill Estate cellars. This exceptional release is crafted using a meticulous solera-style fractional blending system, incorporating components with an average age of over 50 years, with some portions dating back to the early 20th century. The result is a liquid history of South Australian winemaking, offering unparalleled concentration, rancio complexity, and a velvety, everlasting finish. To match its liquid prestige, this rare tawny is housed in exquisite, hand-crafted vessels, making it a legendary collector's piece.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1844 by Dr. Christopher and Mary Penfold at Magill Estate near Adelaide, Penfolds is one of Australia's oldest and most iconic wineries, now headquartered in Nuriootpa, South Australia. The estate is celebrated for pioneering a unique house style centered on multi-regional and multi-vineyard blending, a philosophy perfected by legendary winemaker Max Schubert in the mid-20th century. Penfolds is globally renowned for its robust, structured red wines aged in premium oak, most notably its flagship Grange—a rich, collectible Shiraz-based blend—alongside acclaimed expressions like Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz and Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, while maintaining its deep South Australian roots, the producer has expanded its winemaking footprint to include exceptional terroirs in California, Bordeaux, and beyond.
