Max'S Shiraz

Penfolds Max's Shiraz 2020 pairs well with grilled meats, especially lamb, and hearty dishes such as beef stew. Its fruit-forward character also complements savory foods like roasted vegetables​.

This Shiraz is sourced from a variety of premium South Australian vineyards, including areas like McLaren Vale and Coonawarra, known for producing rich, concentrated fruit with excellent structure​.

While the wine is ready to drink now, it has a maturation potential of up to 2029, allowing it to develop further complexity with age​.

The wine was aged in a combination of older oak barrels, enhancing the complexity while allowing the fruit to remain dominant. The focus in the cellar was to balance the boldness of the Shiraz with integrated oak character​.

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.
