Penfolds g4 represents an extraordinary evolution of the legendary Grange philosophy, blending four exceptional vintages of Australia's most famous red wine: 2002, 2004, 2008, and 2016. Crafted under the visionary guidance of Chief Winemaker Peter Gago, this ultra-rare release takes Penfolds' historic multi-regional, multi-vineyard blending ethos to its logical zenith by introducing multi-vintage blending. Each component vintage brings its own unique character to the blend: the structure of 2002, the elegance of 2004, the power of 2008, and the vibrant freshness of 2016. Matured in premium American oak, this monumental wine is a seamless, powerful expression of South Australian Shiraz that honors the pioneering spirit of Max Schubert while forging a new legacy in luxury winemaking.
🍾 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.
