Penfolds' Block 42 vineyard is one of the most historic Cabernet vineyards in the world. Planted only 30 years after the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, Block 42 has the oldest plantings in the world that have continuously produced Cabernet Sauvignon. This unique history is harnessed by Peter Gago in the 2004 Block 42 Kalimna Cabernet that has produced a beautifully aromatic, perfectly balanced and ripe Cabernet Sauvignon. The fruit simply explodes across the palate, giving tremendous depth and length of flavour. While young, plush and full-bodied today, the Block 42 has many years of ageing ahead of it and will be comfortable in your cellar well into the 2020s.

In 2024, five years after the debut of their collaboration with Champagne Thiénot, Penfolds released the inaugural vintage of their very own Champagne Cuvee Brut. The new cuvee—45% pinot noir, 35% pinot meunier, 20% chardonnay—is a wonderfully fresh aperitif that balances lily, camomile, yuzu and orange blossom with roasted nuts, vanilla and custard apple. Peter Gago describes it as ‘Friendly – a style that doesn’t confront, it embraces. Emotive, not cerebral.’ The inaugural release, disgorged March 2024, is made up of pinot noir from Aube (Fontette) and Saint Thierry (Merfy), pinot meunier from Vallée de Marne (Vandière/Verneuil) and chardonnay from Nogent. Penfolds’ early decision to look beyond Magill Estate—seek the best fruit for a given style, irrespective of borders—led them to become the greatest name in Australian wine, and paved the way for Penfolds Champagne Cuvee Brut.
