Penfolds is, without a doubt, one of the most respected wine brands across the globe. The name ‘Penfolds’ is basically synonymous with the term wine. With a team of passionate as well as skilled professionals at its disposal, Penfolds reigns supreme in the world of wines.
Penfolds Grange 1951 – an experimental vintage that was crafted by Penfolds’ original winemaker Max Schubert, had not been made available commercially. Instead, Max handed it out to friends and family. It is believed that no more than 20 bottles of this historic wine now remain in the world. Crafted predominantly using Shiraz fruit, a small percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon has also been included in this incredible wine. It is considered one of the finest wines of Australia!
On Wednesday, July 19, an auction was held at MW Wines in Melbourne, which is considered a specialist in the back vintages of the Penfolds Grange range. A private collector purchased this iconic 1951 vintage for a whopping $51,750! This is a record price for the 1951 Penfolds Grange Hermitage in Australia. Both the buyer and vendor are sure to be delighted with this amazing feat!
