For over 160 years Penfolds has been a producer of remarkable wines. By virtue of a commitment to producing fine wine, a tradition has evolved which has had a profound influence on the entire Australian industry. Rawson’s Retreat presents the noble Cabernet Sauvignon in an approachable, fresh flavoured style for early enjoyment. The classic marriage of fruit power and structure, Rawson's Retreat expresses opulent dark berry flavours with a moderately firm structure and rich finish, simply a great early drinking Cabernet Sauvignon

In essential Australian claret styling, having previously claimed the coveted Red Wine of Year Trophy at the prestigious London International. Sourced from the best vineyards, Koonunga Hill is known for its fully flavoured palate, excellent varietal fruit and well rounded structure. A firm backbone of Shiraz and gentle oak, in a spicey, fruit driven, early drinking style. "Penfolds has been producing the Shiraz/ Cabernet Koonunga Hill for thirty years and it remains an excellent bargain. Heady ripeness, a fleshy mouthfeel, decent acidity!" -eRobertparker.com

Soon after Wine Spectator named Grange 'The Best Red Wine in the World' the price of subsequent vintage releases soared at auction. An Australian icon, Grange represents a tradition in winemaking that is totally uncompromising. Grange has bypassed the fads and trends of modern winemaking in the sense that it has maintained an integrity of style and remained true to its origins in the mind of Max Schubert. Penfolds Grange is the quality standard against which all other Australian red wines are judged. To share a magnum of Grange from one's own cellar is one of the great wine experiences.

Grange is both Penfolds and arguably Australia's most famous wine and is officially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia. Penfolds Grange displays fully-ripe, intensely-flavoured and textured shiraz grapes in combination with new American oak. The first 100% Shiraz Grange since 1963, and an excellent follow on to the "98 vintage. Sourced primarily from the Penfolds Kalimna Vineyard and other Barossa Vineyards, with proportions from McLaren Vale and Padthaway. A fitting Grange release to end the 1900's, with decades of life ahead.

Winemaker John Duval called the 1981 a big, tannic Grange. A warm to hot, drought-affected summer yielded a powerfully concentrated wine with chocolate raisin fruit, earthy nuances, and pleasant oak. "Fresh white-toast aromas sit above a sea of blackberry jam and leather – this is a very fragrant wine, with a citrussy lift built in and a palate that, while drying out, has complexity to burn: old leather, dried herbs, dried meat, earth, a sweet stemminess and toffee-topped licorice. The finish is tired, but there’s still life left" -Winefront.com.au
