Overview

The Grandfather name dates back to 1915, when an oak cask containing the finest blend of available Tawny material was set aside for the exclusive use of the Penfold family. This wine was known as The Grandfather due to the age of the oldest Tawny in the blend. With each vintage varietal batches are selected for Grandfather. These batches are individually aged in seasoned old oak casks before being blended together at 14 years of age. This blend is then introduced into the ‘Grandfather Solera’. This Solera consists of six stages that are designed to fully integrate all components offering consistency and freshness with a final minimum average blended age of 20 years.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS

As Grandfather is matured utilising a Solera system all vintages introduced into the system are retained forever. This system of maturation ensures freshness, consistency of quality and style is sustained over the decades. The Solera currently contains vintages from 1960 to 2004. Including some 44 individual vintages in the Solera is testament to the complexity and age yet also highlights the importance of freshness and fruit.

Penfolds Fortified Tradition

Penfolds has a long tradition of fortified wine production, dating back to 1844. It began with Dr Christopher and Mary Penfold, pioneers who dreamt big, inventing tonics, brandies, and fortified wines made from grapes and Australian sunshine. Generations of Penfolds winemakers have been custodians of our rich fortified winemaking tradition and continue to push the development to new heights.
