Penfolds g5 Shiraz (2021 Release)
The Penfolds g5 blend energetically entwines Grange DNA from the exceptional 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018 vintages, to create a completely unique expression of their flagship wine.
Penfolds g5 represents the true essence of Grange; where pioneering spirit meets time-honoured Fortified & Champagne philosophies & winemaking techniques.
Blending across vintages is part of Penfolds winemaking philosophy and has been since 1844. Penfolds Tawny styles, famous in the mid-1800’s, continue a long tradition of fortified wines that celebrate this particular blending style. A natural progression was to apply this venerated technique to a create a new Penfolds red style, first with Penfolds g3, Penfolds g4 and finally Penfolds g5.
Only 2,200 bottles of this ultra-rare release were created.
Awarded a perfect 100 Points by James Suckling, Andrew Caillard MW and Ken Gargett, World of Fine Wine magazine.
