Penfolds
Penfolds has been producing remarkable wines since 1844 and indisputably led the development of Australian fine wine in the modern era. The introduction of Penfolds Grange in 1951 forever changed the landscape of Australian fine wine. Since then a series of stand-out wines both white and red have been released under the Penfolds masthead. Peter Gago Penfolds Chief Winemaker and only the 4th custodian of Grange relishes the opportunity to bring Penfolds to the world stage and is an enthusiastic ambassador and natural educator. Penfolds came to the attention of the US market when 1990 Grange was Wine Spectator’s ‘Wine of the Year’. Since then Penfolds Grange has become one of the most collectable wines of the world and was honored to grace the front cover once again of Wine Spectator with declarations of Grange as Australia’s Icon.
Description
The nose is lifted with an attractive mix of dried fruit, vanilla, caramel and a touch of nutty aged rancio complexity. The palate is rich and vibrant displaying ripe spicy fruit, toffee and walnuts framed by smoky oak with a lifted cleansing finish.
Food Pairing
Serve cool, for the perfect ending to a meal, accompanying coffee and a good cigar, a highlight to any day. It also goes very well with nutty desserts as well as more elaborate sweets and with intense cheeses.
