✨ Technical Specifications
Penfolds g5 represents the ultimate expression of the house's blending philosophy, seamlessly uniting five exceptional vintages of their flagship Grange: 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018. Conceived by Chief Winemaker Peter Gago as the final release in the highly collectible 'g' series, this ultra-rare multi-vintage blend transcends traditional vintage boundaries. It delivers the signature power, dark fruit concentration, and savory complexity of Grange, beautifully integrated with premium American oak, while achieving a unique harmony where the distinct characteristics of each individual season elevate the final blend to monumental heights.
🍾 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.
