✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Penfolds Grandfather Rare Tawny is a monument to Australian fortified winemaking, a style that dominated the country's wine industry long before dry table wines took center stage. The story began in 1915, when a superb cask of tawny was set aside to age, eventually named 'Grandfather' in honor of the blend's venerable age and character. Sourced from premium South Australian vineyards, the wine is crafted from a blend of classic varieties including Shiraz, Grenache, Mataro, and Cabernet Sauvignon. It is matured using a solera-like system in seasoned oak casks, ensuring the final blend achieves a minimum average age of 20 years. This slow, oxidative aging imparts a glorious mahogany color, a complex bouquet of roasted nuts, toffee, and cold tea, and a velvety, rich palate balanced by fine spirit integration.
🍾 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.
