The wine

Forming part of Penfolds' luxury range, this is one of Australia's most distinctive wines. It came to life in the 1950s and has enjoyed renewed interest since the 1990s.

Relying on large, very old vats for maturation, the wine is touched rather gently by the oak. Rich, luxurious and smooth, the intensely lush Shiraz fruit supplies its tremendous flavour.

Aged for 15-16 months in well-aged, large oak vats.
