✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Marking a bold new chapter in Penfolds' history of global exploration, the CWT 521 (Chinese Winemaking Trial) represents a masterful fusion of Australian blending philosophy and China's diverse terroirs. Sourced from the high-altitude, mountainous vineyards of Shangri-La in Yunnan and the sunny, arid soils of Ningxia, this wine marries Cabernet Sauvignon with Marselan—a French cross of Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache that has become China's signature red grape. The Cabernet Sauvignon provides a classic, structured backbone of dark cassis and fine-grained tannins, while the Marselan infuses the blend with vibrant purple hues, ripe cherry notes, and exotic spice. Matured in French and American oak, CWT 521 showcases Penfolds' signature house style of rich mid-palate density and seamless integration, offering a compelling narrative of two distinct Chinese wine regions united under a legendary winemaking heritage.
🍾 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.
