Penfolds Max's Shiraz - Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
The wine is a tribute to Penfolds' former Chief Winemaker, Max Schubert (1948–1975), a legendary figure who created the iconic Grange. Schubert's constant pursuit of excellence paved the way for those who followed and allowed the status and heritage of Penfolds to grow.
Wine Description
The wine shows a deep ruby-purple or plum core with strawberry brightness at the rim. The aromatic profile is an 'aromatic kaleidoscope' led by primary fruits such as fresh blackberries, mulberry compote, and poached plums. Notes of mulberry leaf and bay leaf reveal the Cabernet Sauvignon inclusion, while warm and generous baking spices hint at the warm-climate Shiraz. On the palate, the wine is incredibly smooth in texture, with a rich and plush mouthfeel.
Food Pairing
Suggested pairings for this style include complex, rich flavours like a beef Wellington or simple dishes like an American-style beef burger.
