O Produtor, tasting note published in January 10th 2022

The soft and fresh palate showcases the bright red fruit characters of South Australian Shiraz. Fresh plums, ripe cherries and hints of pomegranate. There is a creamy richness to the palate with textural soft tannins providing a supportive frame for this generous wine.

Penfolds

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, allowing 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.

Spring temperatures were generally warmer than average with excellent climactic conditions for budburst and flowering. Summer was cooler than average with no extended heat spells.

Penfolds

Despite great success, Penfolds never rests on its laurels. In 2012 Penfolds released its most innovative project to date – 12 handcrafted ampoules of the rare 2004 Kalimna Block Cabernet Sauvignon.

Two years later, Penfolds celebrated the 170th anniversary – having just picked up a perfect score of 100 for the 2008 Grange in two of the world’s most influential wine magazines. Today, Penfolds continues to hold dear the philosophies and legends – ‘1844 to evermore!’.
