Every year, the Wine and
Spirits panel of critics blind taste more than 10,000 wines. From this intense
tasting, the best performing wineries are held up for recommendation in the
magazine’s annual “Top 100 Wineries of the Year” issue. This year, Wine &
Spirits will once again honor Penfolds with an unprecedented 25th ‘Winery of
the Year’ Award.
Penfolds US Marketing,
Tim Irwin, states, “It’s wonderful to be among the top 100 wineries selected
for this year’s Wine & Spirits Buyer’s Guide. Such an achievement is held by no other
winery in the world and is a testament to Peter Gago and the Penfolds
winemaking team.”
Penfolds Chief Winemaker,
Peter Gago, states, “At Penfolds we
often proclaim that we put the wines first.
After 171 years something must be working … our Penfolds Winemaking
& Viticultural teams continue to build upon the legacy of generations of
their forbears – their hard work, vision and innovational mindsets certainly
set the scene many decades ago. For that
we are grateful. We are also enormously
thankful to be recognized by Josh Greene and the Wine & Spirits team - a
record 25 times is truly an honor.”
Penfolds will be featured
as a Winery of the Year in the upcoming Wine & Spirits 2015 Annual Buyer’s
Guide, on sale mid-October, and will attend the Wine and Spirits Top 100
Tasting in San Francisco on October 20th 2015, joining other distinguished
wineries.
Penfolds has been
producing an impressive array of wines since 1844 and indisputably led the
development of Australian fine wine into the modern era. The introduction of
Penfolds Grange in 1951 forever changed the landscape of Australian fine wine.
Since then a series of standout wines, both white and red, have been released
under the Penfolds masthead.
