Richness, polish and classic Penfolds character define the limited-edition Penfolds Special Shiraz 2024. Created as a celebration of Shiraz, the variety that has played a defining role in the history and identity of Penfolds, this release presents a generous and confidently structured expression of Australian red wine. Its distinctive lineage includes a small portion of matured Penfolds Grange drawn directly from barrel. This inclusion adds an intriguing connection to the producer’s flagship Shiraz while allowing the Special Shiraz to retain its own individual character. Presented in a dry and full-bodied style, the wine combines concentrated berry fruit with savoury depth and polished texture. Aromas of dark berries and sweet spice introduce a profile that is both expressive and recognisably Penfolds.
The palate is silky and sleek, revealing berry coulis alongside pecan pie, hazelnut and bright goji berry nuances. Nutty richness adds breadth, while the vibrant fruit provides freshness and definition through the centre of the palate. Fine, chalky tannins give the wine shape without detracting from its plush fruit character. The balance between ripe berries, savoury elements and controlled structure produces an immediately appealing yet composed expression. Its persistent finish carries lingering dark fruit, nuts and subtle spice, supported by finely textured tannins. Bottled at 14.5% alcohol, the Penfolds Special Shiraz 2024 offers a bold and polished interpretation of the variety at the heart of the Penfolds tradition.
