Penfolds Max's Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
- Country Australia
- Region Coonawarra
- Grape Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon
- Abv 14.5%
- Case 6/75
- Matured in American oak (60% 1-y.o. and 7% new)
- Plum core with strawberry brightness at the rim. Notes of graphite and heady varnish are on the fore. A distinctive blue-fruited elegance and gorgeous cranberry sweetness. An aromatic kaleidoscope of vanilla sponge, cannoli creaminess, asphalt, wet slate, juniper and pink peppercorn. A salinity – perhaps best described as salted plum? Coolness/flowing texture. Spearmint tea (fresh leaves) and lavender. Graphite from the nose continues as a theme on the palate, Black olive tapenade. Ylang Ylang, powdery-style tannins that are tapered on the palate. All converging to a well-defined point
The southeast growing districts of South Australia enjoyed above average winter rainfall, while McLaren Vale recorded well below average. September temperatures were cool with little rain, resulting in some isolated frost events. Summer was generally hot, with high temperatures delaying veraison. Irrigation was crucial to keep vines in good health. The proximity of the Southern Ocean played an important role in moderating temperatures, allowing for a high-quality harvest, albeit with smaller yields than average.

| Winery | Our Max’s tier was introduced in 2016 and pays tribute to our first Chief Winemaker Max Schubert, who dared to revolutionise Australian winemaking. Each wine is polished and charming in character, expressing varietal cues, alluring fruit and structure. They are contemporary and vibrant upon release. They are immediately accessible but not without the assurance of more to come. |
