It was in that humble stone house that Chris Ruosen Penfalls set up his medical experiment center and began to brew fortified wines for his patients-port wine and sherry. With the increasing demand for wine, Rosenpenford Company gradually increased the planting area and output of grapes.
1880, if Morimoto died unfortunately, his wife Mary Benfu took over the winery. Under the careful management of Mary Penfolds, the scale of Penfolds Winery has been growing. In the 35 years since its establishment, it has stored nearly 65,438+007,000 gallons of wine equivalent to 500,000 liters, which was 65,438+0/3 of the total wine storage in South Australia at that time. At the same time, the original grape planting area of Penfolds Winery reached 120 mu, making it the largest manor in South Australia, and Penfolds became a household name in Australia.
Since then, after Mary Penfolds died, their children continued to run Penfolds Winery until World War II. At that time, Penfolds monopolized the entire Australian wine market, bringing its industry to its peak. According to the statistics at that time, for every two bottles of wine sold, one bottle came from Penfolds Winery. In the 1920s, Penfolds Winery officially took Penfolds as its trademark.
65438-0950, Penfolds Winery ushered in the first spring in history. At that time, Jeffrey, the owner, decided to change the production direction from fortified wine to table wine according to the changes of consumers' tastes and the needs of the actual situation, and achieved great success. In the following 50 years, Granci series remained the flag of Australian wine. Granci series is completely different from the concept of chateau wine in Bordeaux. The grapes he used were not from the same manor, but from various contract grape suppliers in Barossa Valley, which was a pioneering work. His success not only makes Penfolds a classic case in Australian wine textbooks, but also makes its high-quality Australian wine image famous all over the world. With the increasing popularity of Granci, some powerful grape suppliers have set up their own enterprises, such as Kalleske, which has become a well-known Australian brand. It can be said that Granci series has made great contributions to the whole Australian wine industry.
In 1960s, Penfolds Winery continuously developed various table wines for ordinary consumers, and Penfolds can be seen everywhere in the whole red wine market. These include Bin 707 Cabernet Sauvignon, Bin 389 Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz, Bin 28 Kalimna Shiraz, Bin 128 Kunavara Shiraz, Bin 2 Shiraz-Mourvèdre and Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon. In addition to the common varieties, Penfolds Winery has also developed a "one-time" limited number of top wines, and with BIN as the symbol, winemakers can identify rare high-quality wines, thus separating other mixed wines and making these wines as top wines. In the market, these brands of wine have become the favorite of wine collectors, such as Bin 60A, Bin 90A and Kalimna Block 42.
Since 150, Penfolds Winery still retains its consistent excellent quality and winemaking concept, so it is still one of the masters of the Australian wine industry today. In the 1990s, Yattarna Chardonnay produced by Penfolds began to show that Australia also has the ability to produce world-class white wine as famous as red wine. RWT Shiraz, the latest wine, is positioned as another super wine after Granci by wine critics. RWT is the abbreviation of red wine brewing test, which means "red wine brewing test". This is the new style of Penfolds Winery. It uses French oak barrels instead of American oak barrels, which makes the wine more memorable. This is a plump, strong and gorgeous red wine. John Dewey, the winery's chief winemaker, rated her as a first-class wine. Through continuous innovation and a large number of advertisements, Penfolds has been leading the Australian wine industry and becoming the pride of the industry.
