Penfolds Grandfather Rare Tawny
A multi-award winner this Rare Tawny is sure to impress. The Grandfather name dates back to 1915, when an oak cask
containing the finest blend of Tawny 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.
Winemaker Notes
Colour:
Deep amber - mahogany in colour with the green gold tinges indicative of great age.
Nose:
The nose is extremely complex and fragrant, possessing an array of nutty, vanillin, aged characters melding seamlessly with hints of raisined fruit, malt and lifted spirit.
Palate:
The palate effortlessly displays the famed attributes of great Tawny; luscious, rich and full flavoured with mouthfilling viscosity and a slightly dry finish. Intense raisined fruit, walnut
and toffee flavours harmonise with subtle vanillin oak.
