✨ Technical Specifications
Penfolds Max's Rosé is a tribute to the legendary Max Schubert, the pioneering Chief Winemaker who famously created the iconic Grange in secret. This contemporary rosé represents a departure from Penfolds' historically heavy, structured reds, offering a fresh, vibrant, and approachable style. Sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia, the wine is crafted predominantly from Pinot Noir. To achieve its delicate pale pink hue and crisp profile, the grapes are harvested early and undergo a cool fermentation in stainless steel, preserving the bright red berry aromatics and lively acidity that define this modern Australian classic.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1844 by Dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold and his wife Mary at the Magill Estate in South Australia, Penfolds is one of Australia's oldest and most iconic wine producers. The estate achieved legendary international acclaim during the 1950s under visionary chief winemaker Max Schubert, who created Penfolds Grange and revolutionized the country's winemaking techniques. Driven by a celebrated philosophy of multi-regional and multi-varietal blending, Penfolds sources exceptional fruit across historic Australian terroirs—such as the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra—as well as select premier global regions. The house is universally revered for powerful, impeccably structured, and long-lived wines, led by its flagship Grange, Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, and celebrated Bin series.
