Vineyards
Penfolds owns vineyards throughout all the-major premium wine grape-growing regions of South Australia.
In 1844 Dr Penfold was congratulated for purchasing a well-sited vineyard. The South Australian Register of 8 August, 1844 reports the arrival of Dr Penfold in the colony, noting, "He is the fortunate purchaser of the delightfully situated and truly valuable estate of Mackgill for the sum of £1,200".
One hundred years later, Penfolds had become a major landholder with vineyard and winery holdings throughout New South Wales and South Australia producing an array of light table and sparkling wines, ports and sherries. Today, however, Penfolds is predominantly a South Australian winemaker, sourcing its fruit from its own vineyards and from independent growers, many of whose families have supplied grapes to the company for generations and are members of the elite Penfolds Grange Growers Club because of the exceptional quality of their grapes.
The sheer diversity and quality of regional provenance, vineyard sites and independently grown fruit provide winemakers with a rich palette of colour, aroma and texture - a superb resource which allows a remarkable consistency of style and quality across the Penfolds portfolio.
