PENFOLDS
Australia, South Australia 

An illustrious South Australia house, deeply rooted in tradition, Penfolds is one of the iconic producers in the world. In 1844, Penfolds was founded by Christopher and Mary Penfold who arrived to Australia from Sussex, England and began the 500 acre Penfolds estate in Adelaide. Upon Christopher’s tragic death, Mary began initial blending wines that were two to three years of age, moving away from fortified wines. For many years Penfolds remained the largest wine producer in South Australia. Then in the 1940s famed Penfolds winemaker Max Shubert crafted their first iconic 'Grange Hermitage' wine which was later simply named 'Grange.' In 1960s the company introduced a series of red wines: Bin 389, Bin 707, Bin 28 and Bin 128, that became the key parts of the Penfolds brand. Today, Penfolds continues to produce world-class wines and the overall quality which are not only amongst the best in Australia, but in the world.
