Intensity
A perfect illustration of Australian Chardonnay: fruity with nutty notes, revealing of its maturation in wood. A gastronomic wine, that's for sure!
More infoMatured for 8 months in French oak barrels (25% new), the first of these vintages was produced in 2005. Straw-yellow in colour, this wine has a complex and fresh nose of nougat and toasted nuts. There are also aromas of white fruit like nectarine and peach. Its palate is lively with a certain citrus profile. It can be enjoyed already, but don't hesitate to age it for a few more years.

About the Producer Penfolds
One of Australia's most renowned domaines, Penfolds was founded in 1844 by the English doctor Christopher Rawson Penfolds. In its beginnings the domaine produced mainly fortified wines (in the style of Port or Sherry) although dry whites and reds were also made. From 1900, the estate built up an admirable reputation thanks to the ageing potential of its fine reds. From 1950 onwards, Penfolds began producing exclusively red wines made from the Syrah grape varietal by their cellar master Max Schubert. Over the years the domaine has been merged with various companies to become today the property of Treasury Wine Estates. The vineyard is situated in the heart of the Adelaide hills in southern Australia. Penfolds is the standard bearer for fine Australian wine thanks to the high quality and consistency of its cuvées from the flagship to the entry level wines. This is quite a feat considering the estate spans 700 hectares. When it comes to the New World, Penfolds is a leading light.
