Penfolds
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 Magazine; the 1971
vintage was ranked as the greatest wine of the 1970s by FINE Wine Magazines and
tastingbook.com, and the 2008 gained a perfect 100-point score from both Wine
Spectator and Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. It is a mainstay of the secondary
market – auction prices for the wine have regularly been used as key
performance indicators for the wider Australian economy.
