✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Penfolds Max's Cabernet Sauvignon is a tribute to the legendary Max Schubert, the visionary Chief Winemaker who revolutionized Penfolds and Australian winemaking from 1948 to 1975. Schubert's relentless pursuit of excellence and his secret creation of the iconic Grange established a legacy of innovation that this wine celebrates. Sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia, this Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the classic Penfolds house style of multi-regional blending. The wine is typically matured in a combination of French and American oak, resulting in a bold, structured profile. It balances rich dark fruit flavors of cassis and blackberry with subtle herbal notes, refined tannins, and a touch of warm spice, offering an approachable yet sophisticated expression of South Australian Cabernet.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
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.
