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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1844 by Dr. Christopher and Mary Penfold at Magill Estate near Adelaide, Penfolds is one of Australia's oldest and most iconic wineries, now headquartered in Nuriootpa, South Australia. The estate is celebrated for pioneering a unique house style centered on multi-regional and multi-vineyard blending, a philosophy perfected by legendary winemaker Max Schubert in the mid-20th century. Penfolds is globally renowned for its robust, structured red wines aged in premium oak, most notably its flagship Grange—a rich, collectible Shiraz-based blend—alongside acclaimed expressions like Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz and Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, while maintaining its deep South Australian roots, the producer has expanded its winemaking footprint to include exceptional terroirs in California, Bordeaux, and beyond.
