Penfolds
Founded in 1844 by Christopher and Mary Penfold from plantings of vine cuttings they had carried away on their voyage over to Australia, the Penfolds we now today owes much to the vision and innovation of Max Schubert, the house first chief winemaker from 1948 to 1975. A larger than life character, Max Schubert did propel Penfolds to global stage thanks to the creation of a range of iconic wines. Today, the winemaking team headed by Peter Gago are working wonders to maintain Penfolds' standing among the world top elite wineries.
