50 Year Old Rare Tawny

50 Year Old Rare Tawny

50 Year Old Rare Tawny

The 50 Year Old Rare Tawny is a symbol of Penfolds heritage, typifying collaboration and shared creative expression.

Amongst the many individual components captured in this wine is the 1915 vintage, reported to be the foundation of the first Grandfather cask. Additionally, the 1940, 1945 vintages, the first two commercial releases of the Grandfather (in 1965 and 1969 respectively) and the first Great Grandfather release (1994). Incorporating the 1915 vintage component from Penfolds precious glass stock reserves means the Penfold 50 Year Old Rare Tawny carries a generic connection to the earliest recorded vintage of Penfolds Grandfather Tawny.

This wine has been aged in small wood for an average of fifty years. Immediately upon release drinking optimally.

Penfolds fortified wines retain the distinctive DNA of the original style, though we are continually and sympathetically evolving.”
