A Multi-Regional Blend for Rich, Harmonious Flavors
Penfolds has been releasing high-quality wines since its founding in 1844. The brand brews its wines based on the concept of multi-regional blending, using grapes from multiple vineyards.
Its unique brewing methods and multi-regional blends achieve rich, harmonious flavors. Consequently, it is counted among the world's most beloved wineries, having received the Wine Maker of the Year award for over 25 consecutive years.

Among these, "Grange," priced at $1,000 per bottle and beloved by many wine collectors, reigns as the brand's signature wine. Born in 1951, it is recognized as a heritage icon of South Australia, where the synergy between the Shiraz grown in Australia, its soil, and climate cultivates an exquisite red wine.
The 2018 collection also features 12 unique wines, including the 2016 vintage of "Yattarna," created with the concept of "a white wine comparable to Grange," and the Bin Series, named after Penfolds' specification numbers. This lineup captivates wine lovers worldwide.
