Penfolds established 1844
In 1844 Dr Christopher Penfold set up in practice at Magill, South Australia.
Planting vines around his cottage which he called 'The Grange Cottage', Dr Christopher Penfold began Penfolds' long history of making fine Tawny wines. By Federation in 1901, Penfolds had become one of the largest producers of fortified wines in Australia. Dr Penfold understood the uniqueness of fortified wines, the complex winemaking process and the patience required, as some fortified wines only reach their full potential after many years in the cellar. Allowing wines to age to reach their full potential is a tradition that continues at Penfolds cellars today. Crafting the finest Tawny, not only for now, but for future generations to enjoy.
