Middle of the 19th Century left the young physician Dr. Christopher Rawson Penfold England towards Australia. In his equipment there were also vines, because he believed in the health benefits of red wine for its patients. He planted the first vines in 1844 in Magill Adelaide. His wines were kept in the style of port wines: rich, heavy and sweet. They enjoyed brisk demand soon - in 1881, the cultivated area was 50 hectares.
About a hundred years later, the winery was about 80 acres and has grown from a family business to a company. Max Schubert, the most creative and visionary winemaker of Australia toured Europe in 1950, where he was fascinated by the red wines of the Rhone and Bordeaux. From this tour, he brought the vision to tread the wine in Australia, the great European wines are equal in complexity and longevity. As a result, he created the wines should make Penfolds famous throughout the world. The Grange and the BIN series proved that it is possible to produce on Australian terroir absolute top growths.
