Penfolds

Meet Extraordinary

Born of a pioneering spirit in 1844, Penfolds has manifested a lasting legacy of patience, commitment, courage and passion. We are the proud product of our great winemaking past, of our founders Mary and Christopher Penfold who brought grapes to the bountiful Australian soil and sunshine, and our innovative greats; Alfred Vesey, Ray Beckwith and Max Schubert, celebrated winemaking legends who pushed liquid development to extraordinary new heights. It is with this pioneering spirit and curiosity from our custodian winemakers that this still rings true after nearly two centuries. Penfolds honors and celebrates these traditional winemaking values, as we cultivate great new traditions for the next generations. Today, 177 years on, this legacy continues, and the house remains one of Australia’s most revered … now and “evermore.”
