✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1844 by Dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold and his wife Mary at the Magill Estate in South Australia, Penfolds is one of Australia's oldest and most iconic wine producers. The estate achieved legendary international acclaim during the 1950s under visionary chief winemaker Max Schubert, who created Penfolds Grange and revolutionized the country's winemaking techniques. Driven by a celebrated philosophy of multi-regional and multi-varietal blending, Penfolds sources exceptional fruit across historic Australian terroirs—such as the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra—as well as select premier global regions. The house is universally revered for powerful, impeccably structured, and long-lived wines, led by its flagship Grange, Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, and celebrated Bin series.
