In this age of 'big company' buyouts, increasing consolidation and mass production, Old Bridge Cellars brings you a group of Australian winemakers who retain their belief in artisan winemaking. Respecting the land and with minimal intervention in the winery, their wines remain true to the soils from which they come.
We see as our mission the promotion of Australia's 'real wines', championing those winemakers who give everything in their pursuit of truly distinctive, regionally defined styles that sit comfortably with the world's best. And who believe they can do it even better again next vintage!
The success of Penfolds has been driven by the generations of visionaries and innovators. From the beginning in 1844 to today, the merging of science, art and innovation has driven Penfolds to become one of Australia's most famed and respected winemakers.
To further your Penfolds wine experience, vintage release tasting notes are written by Penfolds winemakers at the time of release. Each tasting note describes the wine's nose, palate and color; the first marker of the wines journey in bottle. Each Penfolds wine has a unique history of which an excerpt is shared.
