Penfolds Trial Wines

For almost two centuries, innovation, experimentation and trial continue to be a key driver in the creation of many Penfolds ‘trial’ wines. Many flagship wines originated from this approach including; Grange (experimental 1951), Yattarna Bin 144 (for the 144 winemaking trials), and RWT Red Winemaking Trial) Barossa Valley Shiraz. ​

​This curiosity and experimentation has been showcased more recently with the Californian, and French releases and now continues with the first Penfolds Chinese Winemaking Trial.

​As with all Penfolds trial wine programs, initial release is small, albeit the animated engagement in remote Chinese vineyards already offering much positivity and potential.​

Penfolds relationship in China began in 1893 and continues. Our winemaking focus on the ground is a demonstration of our continued commitment.
