Grape - Grenache/Syrah/Mataro.
Where - Barossa Valley, Australia.
 
What - It is fair to say that Penfold's wine estates is Australia's most celebrated producer. The estates boasts a rich history. Originally founded in 1844 by English Physician Christopher Rawson Penfold and his wife Mary, in the rolling hills above Adelaide. 
 
Today the company meticulously run vineyards in Adelaide hills, Barossa and the McClaren Vale with a focus on the aussie favourites of shiraz, grenache, Cab sauv and Petit Verdot. The celebration of this internationally recognised estate is not unwarranted. The wines are nothing short of spectacular.
 
This Barossa flagship is a crafted from a hand harvested blend of Grenache/Syrah and Mourvedre harvested off ancient sites in the Barossa valley. Each variety is naturally fermented and aged for 12 - 15 months in season french hogshead (500ltr) barrels, before blending and bottling.
 
This 2021 vintage shines with intense inky colour and deep flavours of Cassis, baked brambles, kampot peppercorns, fresh espresso and eucalyptus. A true snapshot of why wines in this part of the world are still great!
