About Penfolds Wines
Penfolds wines are immediately recognisable thanks to an uncompromising commitment to quality and a philosophy that has endured since 1844. Our collection comprises an array of premium red wines, white wines, fortified wines and Champagne. Though each holds its own discernible character, the stamp of our inimitable House Style is always present – and this shared DNA guarantees the timeless quality admired across the globe.
Captured within our Winemaking Philosophy is the Penfolds House Style, which emerged from a 19th-century fortified wine producing culture, and further evolved during Max Schubert’s ground-breaking Grange trials. It is discernible by a richness of flavour, with a consistency assured through a tradition of apprenticeship and long tenures.
Paramount to our winemaking philosophy is a focus on meticulous fruit-sourcing and stylistic classification. Penfolds wines are crafted using grapes from the very best wine regions, including the Barossa Valley, Coonawarra, Adelaide Hills, and Magill Estate in Australia, Bordeaux in France, Napa Valley in California, and Shangri-La in China.
HOW WE CARE FOR YOUR WINE
Every bottle of Penfolds is special, so we take several measures to ensure your prized wines are cared for before and after your purchase.
When you choose standard shipping, a signature is requested to guarantee it is received by the right hands. Customers are also offered the option to delay shipping if they don’t think they will be home to receive their order. Most of our orders are shipped by next business day, however we never ship during periods of extreme heat. Some Penfolds wines, such as Grange, are packaged in special thermal insulated shippers for an added layer of protection. Penfolds members also enjoy free standard shipping across all orders.
Penfolds care doesn’t end when your wine reaches you. Our Re-corking Clinics are the ultimate after care service, designed to assess and certify your prized Penfolds wines aged fifteen years or older. Since our first clinic in 1991, Penfolds winemakers have assessed over 200,000 bottles across four continents.
We also have a team of dedicated service representatives, who can promptly assist with any queries, product information or concerns via email.
