✨ Technical Specifications
While 'Clare Estate' is not a mainstream fixture in Penfolds' modern global release lineup, the Clare Valley of South Australia has historically played a vital role in the winery's celebrated multi-regional blending philosophy. Sourced from the cooler, high-altitude vineyards of this picturesque region, Penfolds' Clare Valley fruit is prized for contributing intense dark berry flavors, structural elegance, and a signature hint of cool-climate mint or eucalyptus. This profile represents Penfolds' classic South Australian red style, showcasing the robust structure, rich oak integration, and deep complexity that define the historic producer's relationship with the unique terroir of the Clare Valley.
🍾 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.
