In 1844, Christopher Rawson Penfold planted vines on the slpoes oh Magill to produce fortified wines. Now the historic bluestone cellars are home to a tradition of fotfified winemaking dating back over 150 years. In 1915, an oak cask containing a blend of the finest tawnies the company possessed was set aside for the exclusive use of the Penfolds Family. This became known as 'the Grandfather' due to the great age of the oldest tawnies in the blend. Penfolds Grandfather Liqueur Tawny, a blend of the finest old tawnies and aged in small oak casks, honours this proud tradition and is Australias' leading example of this style. The rich yet delicate fruit character harmonises perfectly with pronounced aged rancio complexity to produce a truly remarkable liqueur tawny. Individual compnents are given extended maturation in small oak barrels in Penfolds Kalimna Tawny Cellar in the Barossa Valley before an extremely strict barrel selection process. The best barrels are carefully blended to create Penfolds Grandfather. Deep amber-mahogany in colour with the green gold tinges indicatative of great age. The nose is extremely complex and fragrant, possessing an array of nutty, vanillin, aged characters melding seamlessly with hints of raisined fruit, malt amd lifted spirit. The palate effortlessly displays the framed attributes of great Liqueur Tawny; luscious, rich and full flavoured with mouthfilling viscosity and a slightly dry finish. Intense raisined fruit, walnut and toffee flavours harmonis with subtle vanillin oak and rancio complexity before a remarkable long finish. |
