Winery & Vintage Info
Penfolds Max’s Shiraz is a tribute to former Chief Winemaker Max Schubert 1948-1975, a legend in Penfolds history. Max’s constant pursuit of excellence paved the way for those who followed in his footsteps and also allowed the status and heritage of Penfolds to grow. A contemporary offering of South Australian Shiraz, this release provides a fruit-driven wine which is generous in flavour and persistent across the palate.
Winter rainfall was near long-term average, although July was unusually dry. Spring temperatures were generally warmer than average with excellent climactic conditions for bud-burst and flowering. Summer was cooler than average with no extended heat spells. Summer rainfall was 20% above the long-term average. The generally mild conditions made for an excellent harvest, with shiraz grapes exhibiting textbook varietal character.
