Penfolds Max’s The Promise is a tribute to former Chief Winemaker Max Schubert. Max was renowned for gifting his favourite wines to family and friends. A gesture that acknowledged the quality of a wine befitting of life’s special occasions. This generosity of spirit continues today and is celebrated with this special release of South Australian Shiraz.
Tasting notes:
Colour: Bright crimson red with a dark purple core.
Aroma: Lifted aromas of dark chocolate, ripe strawberries, black cherries and satsuma plum dominate the fruit spectrum. Exotic baking spices and subtle cedar notes are beautifully interwoven. Classic South Australian Shiraz, tempting, full of promise.
Palate: The aromatic fruits flow through to the palate… reminiscent of your childhood spiced Christmas cake. The richness of the forest fruits and red liquorice are tempered by subtle savoury notes of dried thyme and sage. Fine lingering tannins add structure and definition. Beautifully balanced, and instantly accessible.
