Soft & mellow. Sweet plum currant flavours align with fine spirit and balanced acidity, creating freshness and length of flavour. A touch of wood-aged nuttiness adds interest without inducing 'inappropriate' complexities for this approachable fresh style.
Pair wonderfully with cheeses, chocolates and desserts such as crème brûlée or caramel ice cream.
Penfolds has a long history in fortified wine production, dating back to 1844 when Dr Christopher and Mary Penfold dreamt big; inventing tonics, brandies, and fortified wines made from grapes and Australian sunshine. Generations of Penfolds winemakers have been custodians of our rich, fortified winemaking traditions and continue to push development to new heights.
