| Wijngoed informatie | "The story of Penfolds is a fascinating microcosm of the story of European settlement in Australia and the countrys two hundred year development to its position today in the world community.Australias wine industry now stands proud in the forum of international wine as one of the greatest quality and value producers in the world, and Penfolds is renowned as Australias Most Famous Wine. From the adventurous beginnings of Christopher Rawson Penfold leaving England to settle in a far-off land, the Penfolds story journeys to the present day, leaving a 150 year legacy of excellence and outstanding achievement that has defined the company and - indeed - the entire story of Australian wine.Penfolds was founded by a young English doctor who migrated to one of his countrys most distant colonies a century and a half ago. Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold was born in 1811, the youngest of 11 children. He studied medicine at St Bartholomews Hospital, London, graduating in 1838. Like many doctors before and since, Dr Penfold had a firm belief in the medicinal value of wine. Before he left Britain he had obtained vine cuttings from the south of France and these were planted around the site of the modest stone cottage he built with his wife, Mary, at Magill on the outskirts of Adelaide in 1845. The couple called this house The Grange, after Marys home in England.Dr Penfold built up his medical practice and made fortified wines - port and sherry - for his patients. As the demand for their wine grew, the Penfolds expanded the vineyards and increased production. " |
