✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Named in honor of Thomas Hyland, the pioneering son-in-law of founders Dr. Christopher and Mary Penfold, who helped transform the family winery into a national powerhouse in the late 19th century. This Chardonnay reflects Penfolds' multi-regional sourcing philosophy, drawing premium fruit from cool-climate vineyards across South Australia, notably regions like Adelaide Hills and Padthaway. The winemaking team employs a combination of stainless steel tank fermentation to preserve bright, fresh stone fruit and citrus characters, alongside partial barrel fermentation and maturation in seasoned French oak to introduce a subtle creaminess, texture, and soft spice. It represents an approachable yet classic expression of South Australian Chardonnay, balancing vibrant acidity with a rounded, elegant mouthfeel.
🍾 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.
