Tasting Notes

COLOUR - Dark purple, black core. NOSE - Immediately captivating and expressive; an opulent and stylistically perfumed bouquet that exudes sophistication. A complex tapestry of black fruits unravels, revealing layers of blackberry conserve interwoven with inkwell minerality. Undertones of ferrous metal lend an earthy gravitas, while charred notes of roasted peppers and bresaola add depth and savoriness. The medley is accentuated by the subtle brininess of kalamata olives and nuanced by the freshness of green coffee beans. Hints of mulberry leaves complete this aromatic profile, showcasing its multifaceted nature. PALATE - Upon tasting, the palate unfolds with a burst of blueberry freshness, balanced by an undercurrent of Sarsaparilla and baking spice. A procession of cherries dipped in dark chocolate parades across the palate, escorted by the rich intensity of mulberries/blackberry coulis. The savoury flavours emerge through radicchio lettuce, adding an intriguing bitter edge that contrasts beautifully with the sweetness above. Layers continue to unfold as danish pastries and panforte integrate with sundried tomato pastry.

About the Winery

Penfolds

Established in the heart of Adelaide in 1844, Penfolds winery is one of Australia's oldest and most renowned wine-producing estates. Over the centuries, this impressive winery has crafted an invincible reputation for producing wines of exceptional quality, notably its world-famous Grange and St. Henri Shiraz.

Thomas Penfold and his wife Mary embarked on wine production at their Magill Estate after immigrating from England. Penfold’s initial intention was to craft fortified wines in the style of those he admired in Europe, specifically, his cherished homeland. However, over time the potential for producing quality table wines was realised and Penfolds has since become a global icon.

Among the winery's remarkable collections, the most celebrated offering is undeniably the 'Penfolds Grange'. This Shiraz wine, crafted by the pioneering winemaker Max Schubert is among the most coveted and enduring labels on the global wine stage. Known for its rich intensity and remarkable longevity the Grange is synonymous with prestige in the world of wine.

Nestled amongst the rolling Adelaide Hills, the winery is a sight to behold. With its distinctive historic charm, juxtaposed with cutting-edge wine-making techniques, Penfolds has managed to maintain an enchanting balance of tradition and innovation. Visitors are greeted by lush vineyards, meticulously tended to ensure the production of quality grapes. A walk through the Penfolds cellar door is an immersion into history; as each stone and barrel tell tales of wine craftsmanship honed over centuries.

What's interesting however, is Penfolds winery's firm belief in multi-regional blending. Unlike most wineries who staunchly adhere to single-vineyard or single-region wines, Penfolds uses grapes from various regions across the country. To the experts at Penfolds, the synergy resulting from the blend ensures a profound depth and complexity of flavour that simply cannot be achieved otherwise.

In conclusion, Penfolds winery is an iconic cornerstone of the Australian wine industry. A visit to this elegant estate, is not merely about tasting wines of world class quality, but also accompanied by a journey through a labyrinth of history and the passionate narrative of a craft perfected over time. A haven for wine connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike!
