✨ Technical Specifications
Named in honor of Thomas Hyland, the pioneering son-in-law of founders Christopher and Mary Penfold, who helped propel the winery from a boutique medical dispensary into a national icon during the late 19th century. This Shiraz is crafted in the classic Penfolds multi-regional blending style, sourcing premium fruit from across South Australia's renowned wine regions. It showcases the signature Penfolds character: rich, dark fruit flavors, subtle warm spices, and a structured yet approachable palate shaped by careful maturation in oak barrels. It represents an accessible gateway to the legendary house style, balancing rich heritage with contemporary appeal.
🍾 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.
