Penfolds has announced it will bring all of its iconic ‘Luxury & Icon’ wines to La Place de Bordeaux from January in a surprising but logical and impeccably timed move.
db's Bordeaux correspondent Colin Hay picks his highlights from the Penfolds 2023 Collection, which was launched in August with tastings across Europe, Asia and North America and impressed with the depth of the portfolio and the considerable value for money of the more 'entry level' wines.
It’s only been a week since the 40th anniversary of the Food & Wine Classic weekend, but it feels like ages ago that we all scrambled from under the Grand Tasting tents looking for shelter from the storm. At least we have a story to tell.
Though winemakers will argue that the terroir of where the grapes are grown creates distinct flavour and character of a certain wine, Penfolds begs to differ. The brand offers an alternative way to appreciate terroir through a blend of carefully-sourced grapes from different regions, known as "House Style".
