Great Grandfather Rare Tawny

With an average age of over fifteen years, Great Grandfather is refined and possesses an incredible intensity of flavour.

In 1844 Christopher Rawson Penfold planted vines on the slopes of Magill to produce fortified wines. This tradition now dates back over 165 years.
Penfolds Great Grandfather Rare Tawny, a special blend of the finest and oldest components of Grandfather Tawny, was first introduced in 1994 to celebrate Penfolds’ 150th anniversary. Great Grandfather, blended from exceptional aged Solera (a stacked blending system) material, contains the oldest parcels from the Solera.

This wine is immensely complex and powerful. The maturation Grandfather style relies on a fuller spirit for fortification and extended small old oak maturation to gain overall complexity and optimum balance.

Great Grandfather Rare Tawny is Penfolds’ rarest wine; only 1000 bottles are available each release. The first release, in 1994, deliberately comprised 1994 bottles.
