About Penfolds Max's Chardonnay

Penfolds is undoubtedly one of the most famous and prestigious wineries in Australia. With over 175 years of history, the project began in 1844 when Dr Christopher Penfold emigrated from the UK to Adelaide and settled in a country house they called Grange. It was the perfect estate for planting vineyards and the Penfolds family were inspired to start winemaking. But if there is one person who has played a key role in turning a simple family winery into a world leader, it is undoubtedly Max Schubert, Penfolds’ first chief winemaker who, between 1948 and 1975, developed such a creative way of working that he gave the winery an incredible boost on the international scene. As Schubert himself would say, “All winemakers must have a good and active imagination if they want to succeed in their trade.”

Today the legacy of Max Schubert is unquestionable. From introducing techniques he learned from the great Bordeaux vineyards to using refrigeration and cold stabilisation for white wines, Schubert symbolises a before and after in the Australian wine industry. If this Australian winemaking expert is known for one thing in particular, it is for creating the iconic Grange Hermitage, one of the most sought-after labels on the market, which not only set the winery’s style, but also turned Penfolds into a world-leading winemaker. To commemorate this great legacy, the winery have created Penfolds Max’s Chardonnay, a wine made in honour of the great master who knew how to embody the Penfolds character better than anyone. A wine made with the Chardonnay variety planted in calcareous soils and that, through respectful agriculture and an exhaustive selection process, achieves a very high quality fruit. Then in the winery, the must ferments at a controlled temperature and rests on the lees in new and used oak barrels. Finally, the wine is clarified and filtered before bottling.  

Penfolds Max’s Chardonnay is a tribute to the legendary winemaker. A wonderful Chardonnay with the inimitable aromas of the Adelaide Hills and perfectly capturing the style and potential of South Australia’s great wines.

2018

Penfolds Max’s Chardonnay 2018 is a creamy white wine with intense aromas of stone fruit, spicy notes and hints of oak. On the palate it is unctuous, fresh and enveloping. A wine with a prolonged acidity combined with marked tannins. The finish is lingering and very pleasant.
