Chief winemaker Peter Gago and the Penfolds winemaking team today unveiled the new 2017 Penfolds Grange, along with the rest of the 2021 Australia Collection.
A small group of lucky media (minus the Victorians) was shown all the new releases - along with two brand new wines - at the superb new Kingsford Homestead facility on the edge of the Barossa Valley.
We sniffed and sipped, made notes and interrogated Gago. But I can't reveal a word about any of the new releases.
With more tastings to be held globally, there is a media embargo imposed until July 22 - and the wines will not be released until August 5.
So what can I tell you?
The team let slip that there might be some news on pricing that will please consumers.
All the wines will be released in Australia with a screw cap option. Except Grange, which remains under cork.
I can also say that one of the cheapest wines in the range is absolutely stunning. But I can't say any more.
Just stay tuned.
But will we see an early review of Kingsford? Looks impressive!
