✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Penfolds' legacy is deeply rooted in fortified wine production, a tradition that predates their famous dry reds. The Bluestone Grand Tawny pays homage to this heritage, named after the historic bluestone cellars at Magill Estate where Penfolds' earliest wines were matured. Crafted using a solera-like system of fractional blending, this tawny is aged in small oak casks, resulting in an average age of approximately ten years. The slow, controlled oxidation in South Australia's warm climate coaxes out rich, complex flavors of dried fruits, nuts, and integrated spirit, showcasing a style that has been a cornerstone of the Australian wine industry since the 19th century.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Penfolds blev grundlagt i 1844 af dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold og hans hustru Mary på Magill Estate i South Australia og er i dag et af Australiens ældste og mest ikoniske vinhuse. Ejendommen opnåede legendarisk international anerkendelse i 1950'erne under den visionære chefvinmager Max Schubert, som skabte Penfolds Grange og revolutionerede landets vinfremstilling. Drevet af en berømt filosofi om at blande på tværs af regioner og druesorter udvælger Penfolds enestående druer fra historiske australske terroirs – herunder Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale og Coonawarra – samt fra udvalgte internationale topområder. Vinhuset er verdenskendt for kraftfulde, upåklageligt strukturerede og særdeles lagringsværdige vine anført af flagskibet Grange, Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon og den berømmede Bin-serie.
