✨ Technical Specifications
Created as a profound tribute to Penfolds' legendary first Chief Winemaker, Max Schubert—the visionary creator of Grange—this wine represents the pinnacle of the classic Australian Cabernet-Shiraz blend. Sourced from exceptional multi-regional vineyards across South Australia, it marries the structural elegance and cassis notes of Cabernet Sauvignon with the rich, fleshier dark fruit and spice of Shiraz. In keeping with Schubert's pioneering techniques, the wine is matured in premium American oak hogsheads, resulting in a powerful, complex, and deeply structured masterpiece with immense cellaring potential. It stands as a liquid monument to the man who revolutionized modern Australian winemaking.
🍾 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.
