Overview

Penfolds Max’s Shiraz Cabernet is a tribute to former Chief Winemaker Max Schubert (1948-1975). A legend in Penfolds history, Max’s constant pursuit of excellence paved the way for those who followed in his footsteps and allowed the status and heritage of Penfolds to grow. A more approachable Penfolds style at release ideally shelf to glass, save the cellar.

Taste Description

PALATE

Incredibly smooth in texture with a rich and plush mouthfeel. Very alluring. Blackberry and plum fruits carry forward to the palate. Supportive oak helps frame the wine but remains integrated and balanced. Flavours of blue and blackberry compote flesh out the mid-palate, while fine tannins and fresh acidity provide balance and poise.

VINTAGE CONDITIONS

Winter rainfall was near the long-term average, although July was unusually dry. Spring temperatures were generally warmer than average with excellent climactic conditions for budburst and flowering. Summer was cooler than average with no extended heat spells. Summer rainfall was 20% above the long-term average. The generally mild conditions made for an excellent harvest, with shiraz and cabernet sauvignon grapes exhibiting textbook varietal character.
