Rewards of Patience

Copies of the Rewards of Patience Book

The Rewards of Patience is a unique publication that traces the lineage of over 50 years of wines through a historic four-day tasting of Penfolds' own museum stocks.

Fully revised and updated, the fifth edition of The Rewards of Patience is the most comprehensive book produced to date. The 288 page volume offers tasting notes and unique commentaries on over 370 Penfolds wines from five of the world's leading wine journalists. This is possibly the last time such an extensive tasting of Penfolds wines back to their inaugural vintages will ever be held.

In addition there are features not seen in previous editions: the history of Penfolds; an overview of Penfolds South Australian vineyards; a look at the elite Grange Growers' Club; and biographies of Penfolds Chief Winemakers, past and present.

"The Rewards of Patience (fifth edition) will surely stand unchallenged as the ultimate guide to drinking and cellaring Penfolds wines." - James Halliday
