Established in 1844, Penfolds stands as one of Australia’s most historic and respected wineries. From early experimentation by Mary Penfold to the groundbreaking leadership of Max Schubert—creator of the iconic Grange, Penfolds has consistently pushed boundaries in quality and innovation. The winery’s heritage is built on craftsmanship, vision, and a commitment to producing wines that achieve worldwide recognition while remaining true to their South Australian roots.

What makes Special Shiraz genuinely distinctive within the Penfolds range is its lineage: this multi-regional blend includes a small inclusion of matured Grange drawn directly from barrel — Australia's most famous and collectible wine — giving Special Shiraz a real, traceable connection to Penfolds' flagship without simply being a lesser version of it. It's framed by Penfolds themselves as a celebration of Shiraz, the variety that has defined the company's identity and shaped Australian fine wine more broadly since the winery's founding in 1844. Bottled at 14.5% alcohol in a limited-edition run, it delivers the richness, polish and immediately recognisable house style Penfolds built its reputation on, while offering something genuinely different from the numbered Bin range or single-vineyard releases. For collectors who already own the more prestigious Grange or RWT but want something with a genuine link to Grange's own barrel-aged material at a more accessible price point, or for anyone wanting a distinctive, story-driven bottle to add to a Penfolds collection, this is a compelling, limited pick.
