Penfolds Wines

Since 1844, Penfolds has played a pivotal role in the evolution of winemaking with a history and heritage that profoundly reflects Australia’s journey from colonial settlement to the modern era. The stories and philosophies behind each label bring a timeless quality, making Penfolds wines special and compelling for collectors and drinkers the world over.
Aromatics are rich and inviting, with notes of rosemary, almond croissant, cinnamon bun and crème brulee, delicately layered with fine French oak. The palate offers generous red fruits – wild raspberry, cherry and satsuma plum which are supported by a fresh, mouth-watering acidity. It is medium-bodied and structured, showing refined tannins and an elegant, glossy texture, balanced with impressive energy and depth.
Perfectly suited to richly flavoured dishes, this Shiraz pairs beautifully with slow-cooked beef, game meats, veal or duck breast. It also complements earthy vegetarian options such as mushroom risotto or aubergine parmigiana.
