Upon release the wine is bright ruby in colour. There is a teasing array of vibrant red fruit on the nose including raspberry, pomegranate, cherry and plum. Spice and herbal notes, as well as a savoury underlay, add to the wine's complexity. While the palate has generous fruit weight and velvety tannins, it is balanced with refreshing acidity and a structure that gives the wine classic North Canterbury tension and pinosity.

Since its inaugural 1962 vintage, Penfolds Bin 128 Coonawarra Shiraz has showcased the elegance and character of one of Australia's finest cool-climate wine regions. Sourced exclusively from Coonawarra's famed terra rossa soils over limestone and matured in French oak hogsheads, it offers a striking contrast to the richer, warmer-climate Shiraz styles for which Penfolds is equally renowned. The 2021 vintage reveals lifted aromas of blue fruits, violets and cracked black pepper unfold alongside mulberry, boysenberry and subtle baking spice, while savoury hints of paprika and cured meats add complexity. The medium-bodied palate is finely structured, balancing dark berry fruit with olives, spice and a seamless line of acidity. Silky tannins carry the wine to a long, poised finish, creating a cool-climate Shiraz that is immensely rewarding now and destined to evolve beautifully through to 2038.

Crafted from the ancient ironstone soils of Marananga in the heart of the Barossa Valley, Penfolds Bin 150 Shiraz 2020 is a powerful expression of this renowned sub-region, made unmistakably in the Penfolds style. Rich layers of satsuma plum, boysenberry and exotic spice unfold alongside distinctive mineral notes that reflect the region's unique geology, while a careful balance of French and American oak adds depth and refinement. Grippy tannins and a finely structured palate ensure impressive cellaring potential, with the wine set to reward from 2025 through to 2040.

Named after the historic Cellar 23 at Penfolds' Magill Estate, where Pinot Noir barriques mature, Bin 23 continues the winery's long-standing passion for cool-climate Pinot Noir. The 2023 vintage showcases premium Tasmanian fruit, highlighting the purity and character that have made the island one of Australia's most acclaimed Pinot Noir regions. Bright cherry red in the glass, it opens with aromas of wild strawberry, toffee apple and berry compote, layered with hints of fresh fig, blood orange and savoury herbs. The palate balances ripe cherry and mulberry with earthy forest floor, gentle cola spice and roasted chestnut notes, while lively acidity and silky tannins bring freshness and length. Elegant and effortlessly drinkable, this beautifully poised Pinot Noir is ready to enjoy now or cellar through to 2035.

Bin 389 is often referred to as 'Baby Grange', in part because components of the wine are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Grange. Exemplifying the judicious balance of fruit and oak, Bin 389 highlights the generous mid-palate Penfolds is known for. The 2023 release leaves a lasting impression of power and elegance - layered and balanced, with rich dark fruits, supple tannins, and a long, savoury finish. A thoughtful blend of varietals. The inclusion of Cabernet Sauvignon provides impeccable structure and depth. Supporting this foundation, Shiraz adds weight and warmth. Red fruits flood the palate, with vibrant flavours of red currant and tart cranberry. The sweetness of vanilla runs throughout the wine, while mouth-coating tannins create a rich, full-bodied texture. Savoury flavours of black olive emerge, accompanied by a blend of orange zest, fennel, and olive. Impeccable, fine tannins conclude the experience, leaving a lasting impression of both power and elegance.

Serious, self-assured. A generous fleshiness persists across the palate. Wild black cherries, cola, sarsaparilla. Sage leaves fried in nut-brown butter over grilled calves' liver. Pistachio terrine. A fine graphite core and cherry succulence. Seamlessly woven tannins. The interplay between the oak, tannins and acid results in an even mouthfeel, a textural sheen. Cranberry acidity and succulence provide a lovely balance. Surprisingly approachable, given the varietal temperament. One to watch, will evolve beautifully over the next two/three decades. Drink now to 2040.

With a history spanning generations, Penfolds Club Tawny has played a defining role in shaping the winery's renowned House Style. Originally released as single-vintage wines, it has evolved into a carefully crafted multi-varietal, multi-vintage blend that reflects Penfolds' enduring winemaking philosophy. Matured in seasoned oak barrels for an average of at least three years, it remains the cornerstone of the Penfolds fortified collection. Rich yet approachable, Club Tawny opens with inviting aromas of caramel, roasted nuts and ripe plum, lifted by a subtle hint of aniseed. The palate is soft and mellow, with sweet plum and currant flavours balanced by fine spirit and fresh acidity.

A tribute to more than 170 years of Penfolds winemaking, Father Grand Tawny 10 Year Old showcases the house's enduring mastery of fortified wines. Crafted from a selection of outstanding wines matured in seasoned small oak casks for a minimum average of ten years, it bridges the youthful fruit of Penfolds Club Tawny with the richness and complexity of older styles, creating a wine of remarkable balance and refinement. The nose reveals inviting aromas of toasted nuts, chocolate, raisin, ripe plum and warming clove spice, lifted by a distinctive hint of aniseed. Rich and elegant on the palate, sweet fruitcake flavours intertwine with beautifully integrated oak, delivering depth, concentration and a lingering finish.

Steeped in Penfolds history, Grandfather Rare Tawny 20 Year Old traces its origins to 1915, when a cask of the winery's finest Tawny was reserved exclusively for the Penfold family. Today, that legacy lives on through a meticulous solera system, where carefully selected parcels are matured in seasoned oak before being blended to achieve a minimum average age of 20 years, delivering exceptional depth, balance and consistency. Layers of raisin, rich fruitcake, liquorice and roasted walnuts unfold on the nose, revealing remarkable freshness despite its extended maturation. The palate is luxuriously full and rounded, with classic fruitcake flavours, subtle vanillin oak and a seamless richness that lingers long after each sip. A benchmark Australian Tawny, it is a fitting tribute to Penfolds' enduring fortified winemaking heritage.

Great Grandfather Rare Tawny was created in 1994 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Penfolds. Subsequent blending material has been sourced from stage six of the 'Grandfather Solera' and individual batches of maturing Grandfather that are identified as having exceptional quality. These components are further aged before being blended and introduced into the 'Great Grandfather Solera'. After an initial launch of exactly 1994 bottles to commemorate the year of its inaugural release, Great Grandfather is only ever released in limited quantities to ensure the age and quality of the style is never compromised. With a minimum average blended age of 30 years, Penfolds Great Grandfather Rare Tawny delivers a beguiling mix of age, structure, strength and complexity with each and every sip. Seamless and integrated from start to finish. Dark fruitcake, milk and dark chocolate, coffee, vanillin and aniseed all in abundance. Toffee/brûlée sugar with orange zest and marzipan add length and balance to the palate. The richness and weight of the wine are held in harmony by the spirit-acid balance, which conveys the long, persistent finish.

The Cabernet Sauvignon grape varietal is widely planted across South Australia's premium wine regions, particularly in the Limestone Coast where grapes with tremendous structure and beautiful aromatics are found. Well-regarded since its launch in 2002, the Koonunga Hill Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the merits of multi-regional blending to Penfolds 'House Style'. A bold, full bodied wine displaying lovely aromatics, excellent structure, and great length.

Since its inception, Penfolds Koonunga Hill has always aimed to deliver quality, value and consistency. The original 1976 Koonunga Hill Claret is a legendary wine that is still drinking well today. Koonunga Hill Shiraz joined the range in 2002, a contemporary reflection of Penfolds multi-regional sourcing philosophy. Shiraz from the warmer districts of South Australia is carefully blended, with the Barossa Valley always well represented. Ripe plum, blueberry & sweet spice - undeniably South Australian Shiraz. The palate shows flint, liquorice, smoked meat & paprika. Integrated tannins remind us of the wine's place in the Penfolds family.
