Penfolds multi-country winemaking
Our continuous pursuit of House Style.
Since 1844, Penfolds commitment to quality has been underpinned by our unrestricted approach to fruit sourcing and winemaking – a philosophy that encourages us to venture across borders to find the best grapes that meet our exacting standards and express our distinct House Style.
Over time, this pursuit has pushed us beyond our own estate boundaries, through surrounding regions, past state borders, and in recent years, across oceans. This new chapter encapsulates wines crafted within and from these territories, as well as a number of multi-country wines – ambitious ventures unbound by vine, border or continent.
"The sourcing changes but the House Style doesn’t. Everything to do with winemaking between the sun above and the soil below is Penfolds."
- Peter Gago, Penfolds Chief Winemaker.


Quantum
Quantumleads theCalifornian Releaseand is embedded with the same “quality-first” philosophy that underpins each of our flagships. It brings together prized Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon and pedigreed South Australia shiraz, serving as the most powerful expression of our blending style through parcels of intensely flavored fruit with highly structured tannins.

Bin 149
Bin 149 uses Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon to showcase strong tannic foundations and dark fruit intensity but with the added dimension of a unique “worldly” disposition through South Australian cabernet sauvignon. Matured in French and American oak, this release highlights Penfolds commitment to quality and limitless winemaking approach.
“Watching Bin 149 assume and grow into its unique character and personality with conviction is rewarding. Anchored in Napa Valley essence but peppered with South Australian saturation and vibrancy.”
– Steph Dutton, Penfolds Group Winemaker.
Multi-country future
At the heart of each new winemaking pursuit, lies our House Style. Discernible by a recognizable mid-palate richness, fruit generosity and cellar-ability, this Penfolds stamp can be experienced across each of our wines no matter their origin.
We ensure this consistency through a tradition of apprenticeship and long tenures, with Penfolds winemakers on the ground in each new territory we enter. This approach affords us the confidence to remove traditional restrictions and view the world of wine unbound. With this perspective, we see endless possibilities for all of our winemaking approaches – from a single vineyard expression through to a unique representation of multiple countries.
