Penfolds Tawny Style Is Known for Its Complexity, Consistency and Quality. The first step in crafting wines of exceptional richness and depth is careful fruit selection in the vineyard at optimum maturity. The next is spirit selection, critical as it has a profound influence on style. Penfolds winemakers select low strength spirits with distinctive grape characters to shape the Penfolds 'house style'. Maturation is a vital step; parcels of wine are matured in old oak to integrate components, increase complexity, whilst maintaining freshness and vitality. Finally, the skilful blending of these parcels achieves a harmonious marriage of mature fruit flavours and oak aged complexity.

Please drink responsibly: The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend adults do not regularly drink more than 14 units per week.
