The Esteemed Creator, a tribute to Chief Winemaker

Max Schubert (1948 – 1975): Max Schubert is one of our

most esteemed creators and our first Chief Winemaker.

Max crafted a dynasty of wines and became the driving

force behind some of Penfolds greatest achievements, still

celebrated to this day. This wine is a quintessential

Australian blend and a celebration of the pioneering

winemaking style Max created.
