Penfolds is one of Australia’s most iconic and internationally acclaimed wine producers, celebrated for its pioneering spirit and exceptional craftsmanship since its founding in 1844. With roots in South Australia's Magill Estate, Penfolds has played a defining role in shaping the country’s fine wine industry—most notably through its flagship wine, Grange, a rich and age-worthy Shiraz blend that has become a global benchmark for luxury Australian wine.
The Penfolds portfolio spans a range of meticulously crafted wines, from approachable everyday labels to collectible luxury releases, often combining grapes from multiple regions to create bold, harmonious expressions. Known for its consistency, innovation, and cellar-worthy structure, Penfolds remains at the forefront of Australian winemaking, blending tradition with modernity while continually pushing the boundaries of style, quality, and prestige.
For nearly 60 years Penfolds Club has been one of Australia's favourite choices of Tawny. Beginning life as Penfolds Five Star Club Tawny in the 1940s, this wine has grown with the nation. Penfolds Club is blended from more than 200 components to offer the complexity and consistency that is expected of the Penfolds 'house' style and has an average age of three years. Winemaker Notes Colour: Amber-brown with a dark red rim. Nose: The nose is lifted with an attractive mix of dried fruit, vanilla, caramel and a touch of nutty aged rancio complexity. Palate: The palate is rich and vibrant displaying ripe spicy fruit, toffee and walnuts framed by smoky oak with a lifted cleansing finish.
Since 1985 Penfolds has been identifying the best barrels of Club Tawny and reserving them for additional maturation. These reserved barrels are then skilfully blended to create Penfolds Club Reserve, a definitive aged Australian Tawny in keeping with the Penfolds tradition of excellence. Winemaker Notes Colour: Tawny red-brown. Nose: The nose is fragrant and well-integrated, possessing aromas of raisined fruit, caramel, subtle vanillin oak and nutty aged complexity. Palate: The palate has a luscious fruit sweetness balanced by drier barrel-matured characters and subtle spirit. The wine has rich flavours of spicy dried fruit, butterscotch and walnuts before a long, lingering finish.
