Penfold's Cabernet Sauvignon Max's

''OVERVIEW Penfolds Max's Cabernet Sauvignon is a tribute to former Chief Winemaker Max Schubert 1948-1975 a legend in Penfolds history. Max's constant pursuit of excellence paved the way for those who followed in his footsteps and also allowed the status and heritage of Penfolds to grow. Max's Cabernet Sauvignon displays the Penfolds 'stamp' inspired by Max Schubert. MATURATION 12 months in new (10%) & seasoned French oak. VINTAGE CONIDITIONS Autumn and winter rainfall were above the long-term average. Rain stopped abruptly in early August with only light showers observed throughout spring. Low top soil moisture halted canopy growth early in the season giving vines an open canopy. A significant rainfall event in early January was a defining moment giving the vines a much needed boost during veraison. February brought weekend heat spikes pushing mean maximum temperatures well above the average resulting in early ripening and harvest. COLOUR Dark reds magenta core NOSE R
