ABOUT
PENFOLDS
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.
The
Penfolds Collection is a family of fine wines, each with a distinct character,
quality and provenance. A testament to Penfolds enduring ‘House Style’ and
winemaking philosophy. At the heart of that philosophy is balance, observing
the long held belief that while Penfolds wines should promise to gradually
develop with careful cellaring, they must also be capable of satisfying even
the most discerning of palates from the day of their release.
