Penfolds

The Commander in Chief Shiraz Cabernet

For 175 years, Penfolds has been grounded in experimentation, curiosity and uncompromising quality. This foundation has driven us since the verybeginning and with each generation of custodians it is celebrated. As we mark our 175th year, Penfolds honours those who defined our history. Mary Penfold was the original leading lady. A force to be reckoned with, Mary’s progressive attitude catapulted Penfolds forward as winemakers. She’d command from a white mare, watching over the vineyard with her treasured spyglass close at hand. Opulent red Shiraz fruits are supported by the fine structural Cabernet Sauvignon tannins. All beautifully captured in this classic Penfolds multi-regional blend, worthy of Mary’s strong spirit. An evocative ascent of violet and lavender with a dusting of icing sugar and fresh berries. Quince paste, rhubarb, sour cherry to the fore. Svelte and even tannins add mouthwatering complexity, combined with integrated oak to create wonderfully woven, balanced palate, with a long lingering finish.
