✨ Technical Specifications
Penfolds g3 represents an extraordinary and innovative evolution of the estate's famous multi-vintage blending philosophy. Crafted by Chief Winemaker Peter Gago, this ultra-rare bottling seamlessly blends three exceptional vintages of Penfolds flagship wine, Grange—specifically the 2008, 2012, and 2014 vintages. By combining the mature, opulent character of the 2008, the elegant structure of the 2012, and the vibrant, youthful intensity of the 2014, Penfolds created a completely unique expression that is both historic and contemporary. The wine was matured in premium American oak hogsheads, allowing the components to integrate beautifully while retaining the signature power, dark fruit concentration, and savory complexity that defines the Grange lineage. Only 1,200 bottles of this historic blend were ever released, making it a legendary collector's piece.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1844 by Dr. Christopher and Mary Penfold at Magill Estate in the Mount Lofty foothills, Penfolds represents one of the foundational cornerstones of Australian fine wine. Over nearly two centuries, the house evolved from crafting fortified tonics to pioneering modern multi-regional and multi-vineyard blending across South Australia's premier terroirs, including the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra. Soils span from rich terra rossa over limestone to weathered ironstone and alluvial clays under warm Mediterranean climates tempered by maritime breezes. Under the long-term stewardship of Chief Winemaker Peter Gago, the house adheres to Sustainable Winegrowing Australia standards while preserving an unmistakable house style defined by meticulous fruit classification, submerged-cap fermentation, and structured maturation in American and French oak hogsheads. Benchmark bottlings such as Grange (Bin 95), Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz, and Yattarna Chardonnay define the apex of collectible New World viticulture.
