Penfolds
Just a short drive from central Adelaide, in Australia, Penfolds began in 1844 when Dr Christopher and Mary Penfold planted vines at Magill Estate—now famed as one of the world’s rare urban single vineyards.
From early fortified wines the house evolved into a modern benchmark built on blending intelligence: parcels and regions are fermented and matured separately, then assembled to a consistent style. The historic “Bin” language nods to cellars and maturation lots, not to gimmickry.
In 1951, winemaker Max Schubert launched Grange after a Bordeaux study tour, pursuing a red designed to live for decades. Shiraz at the core, maturation in oak for many months and relentless lot selection created a signature of power held in structure. Penfolds remains a meeting point of heritage, scale and craft.Penfolds
