Penfolds USA vs AUS Wine Dinner featuring Penfolds Grange

Compass Room and Steakhouse | Thursday 13 April

The art of winemaking with multi-regional grapes has always been in Penfolds’ philosophy. More than 20 years ago, Penfolds embarked on a new and brave endeavour by expanding their footprints to California. By planting the vine cuttings from vineyards in South Australia in Californian soil, Penfolds created a true ‘wine of the world’, which is unbound by country, vine, or time. In 2021, the Penfolds California Collection was released, setting a milestone in the collaboration between Northern and Southern hemispheres based on Penfolds’ very own winemaking philosophy – the Penfolds DNA. This wine event aims at presenting the best regional characteristics of Cabernet Sauvignon of California and South Australia, yet in a style that is distinctly Penfolds.

Speaker Mr. Stephen Cheung

Grange is Australia’s first growth with a history, prestige and lasting quality that interconnects with the great wines of Bordeaux. For many wine collectors and observers, it remains a defining modern wine. Today, Grange’s iconic position in Australian wine history is undisputed. To celebrate its legend, Grange is actually recognised and uniquely heritage-listed by the South Australian National Trust. In recent times, Grange has even been ranked as one of the most tradeable wines in the world by Liv-Ex – the London Wine Exchange. What a highly sought treasure, indeed.
