About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazThe limited edition release of Special Shiraz celebrates the varietal at the heart of Penfolds, honouring the grape that has shaped its identity and defined Australian fine wine. Its lineage sets it apart, with a small inclusion of matured Grange drawn from barrel. Silky and sleek, it reveals pecan pie, hazelnut and berry coulis, lifted by goji berry brightness, with fine, chalky tannins and a polished, persistent finish.

Making a stellar statement in the collection, this deep crimson-purple Shiraz delivers brilliant value, carrying all the iconic bells and whistles of the classic Penfolds style. It opens with an expressive nose of ripe black fruits, drinking chocolate, toast, and an elegant thread of cool-climate spice with a touch of choc-mint. The palate is rich, rounded, and wonderfully plush, offering a viscous mid-palate packed with luscious blackberries, mocha, and liquorice. Structured with finely crafted, sandy tannins and balanced by great natural freshness, it flows effortlessly into a long, powerful, and richly textured finish.
