✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Penfolds has a storied history of working with Rhône varieties in South Australia, a region blessed with some of the oldest continuously producing Grenache, Shiraz, and Mourvèdre (locally known as Mataro) vines in the world. Inspired by the traditional blends of the Southern Rhône Valley, this wine showcases the synergy of these three grapes. Grenache provides vibrant raspberry and cherry aromatics alongside a plush mid-palate; Shiraz contributes rich dark plum notes, weight, and structural backbone; while Mourvèdre lends savory complexity, earthiness, and fine-grained tannins. Sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia, the fruit is handled carefully and aged predominantly in seasoned French and American oak hogsheads to ensure the bright, spicy fruit character remains the hero of the glass.
🍾 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.
