In 1844 Christopher Rawson Penfold planted vines on the slopes of Magill to produce fortified wines. Now the historic bluestone cellars are home to a tradition of fortified winemaking dating back over 150 years. In 1994, to commemorate 150 years of winemaking by Penfolds, a special blend of the finest and oldest components of Grandfather Tawny was created. This blend, befitting its great age and quality, was named Great Grandfather. Penfolds Great Grandfather Liqueur Tawny clearly demonstrates its great age, refined although possessing an incredible intensity of flavour. Still vibrant fruit flavours merge with aged rancio complexity before a finish of extraordinary length. A selection of the very finest and oldest barrels was set aside as components for Grandfather Tawny were made. They were then placed into a solero system and each year a strictly limited amount is released as Great Grandfather Grand Old Liqueur Tawny. An extremely dark mahogany brown with an intense olive green tinge. The nose is extremely intense and complex with raisined fruit, toffee and malt aromas long since integrated with nutty aged rancio, vanillin oak and subtle spirit. The palate clearly demonstrates its great age and quality with incredible intensity of flavour, viscosity and length matched to elegance and finesse. The wine has a perfect harmony of rich developed fruit flavours, aged rancio complexity and a slightly drying spirit finish. A truly outstanding liqueur tawny that deserves to be recognised as the equal of any fortified wine ever made in Australia. |
