Penfolds is Australia's most famous wine producer, best known for its flagship wine Grange, one of the most acclaimed wines in the world. Among many other accolades, the 1955 Grange was named one of the top 12 wines of the 20th Century by Wine Spectator. Auction prices for the wine have regularly been used as key performance indicators for the wider Australian economy.
Penfolds has a long-standing reputation for consistent high quality across its broad portfolio, and there are several other wines that feature regularly in auctions, including the Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, St. Henri and RWT Shiraz wines, Bin 389 Cabernet – Shiraz and Bin 407 Cabernet Sauvignon.
Penfolds was founded in 1844 when Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold and his family arrived in Australia from England. He paid ₤1200 for 500 acres (200 hectares) of prime land in what was then called Mackgill, and planted it with cuttings sourced from France, with the intention of making medicinal wine. By the 1920s, the company accounted for half of all wine sales across the country. Penfolds and its parent company Southcorp have had a complex history in recent decades. Since 2011 the company has been part of Treasury Wine Estates.
