Penfolds Max's Shiraz

Volume: 750ml / ABV: 14.5%

Penfolds Max’s Shiraz 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, allowing the status and heritage of Penfolds to grow. A contemporary offering of South Australian Shiraz, this release provides a fruit-driven wine which is generous in flavour and persistent across the palate.

Tasting Note

Nose

Exotic aromatic spices are lifted and enticing, complementing the bright fruit notes of red berries and ripe plums. There are notes of fresh cream and wild strawberries with a hint of cocoa powder.

Palate 

The soft and fresh palate showcases the bright red fruit characters of South Australian Shiraz. Fresh plums, ripe cherries and hints of pomegranate. There is a creamy richness to the palate with textural soft tannins providing a supportive frame for this generous wine.
