Heritage & Background
In 1844, Doctor Christopher Rawson Penfold and his wife Mary planted vines on the slopes of Magill, just outside the infant settlement of Adelaide, South Australia, to produce port. His port must have been excellent, as it took over from medicine as the Penfold family's chief source of income, and Australia's greatest wine dynasty was born.

In 1915, an oak cask containing a blend of the finest ports the company possessed was set aside for the exclusive use of the Penfold family. This became known as "The Grandfather" due to the great age of the oldest ports in the blend. Grandfather Port was first released to the public in the 1960s and has since become Penfolds' flagship fortified wine.

Product Details
This is a premium fine old tawny port representing a blend of very fine old tawny ports which have been aged in small oak casks. The blend displays fruit character harmonised with the fine quality brandy spirit to deliver a remarkable sweet aged bouquet. The palate is rich and complex with fine quality brandy spirit notes complementing the delicate fruit character and providing a remarkable sweet aged finish.

Included
Timber presentation box with engraved heritage narrative on exterior
Custom stopper cork with Penfolds crest (sealed, ready to reseal bottle after opening)
Original packaging and protective straw packing material
Instruction card for stopper cork care (soak in warm water for at least one hour and wipe dry before use; keep bottle upright to avoid leakage)

Condition Notes
Brand new, factory sealed. Original timber box in excellent condition with clear engraving. Bottle pristine, unopened. Stopper cork included and sealed. This is a premium presentation piece suitable for gifting or collecting.

Value Proposition
Penfolds Grandfather is one of Australia's most celebrated fortified wines and a benchmark for premium tawny port. At $180–$220 retail, this represents a significant investment in Australian wine heritage. The 1960s release to public market established this as Penfolds' flagship fortified offering, and it remains highly sought by collectors and connoisseurs. The timber presentation box and custom stopper cork elevate this beyond a standard bottle purchase—it is a complete heritage experience.
