Crafted as a tribute to Penfolds' legendary first Chief Winemaker, Max Schubert, this approachable blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon embodies the winery's commitment to excellence. The 2018 vintage showcases a vibrant plum core with strawberry brightness at the rim, leading to an aromatic bouquet of ripe cherry and Swiss milk chocolate. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance of fresh red currant and plum fruit, underpinned by lively acidity and smooth tannins. Matured for 12 months in a combination of American and French oak, this wine delivers a polished and charming character, expressing varietal cues with alluring fruit and structure. 

• 94 Points – Wine Enthusiast: "An excellent introduction to the Penfolds Shiraz style, this is rich and chocolaty with oodles of plum, blackberry, warm pavement, green peppercorn and bay leaf. It's opulent but well-structured." 

Whether enjoyed now or cellared for future indulgence, Penfolds Max’s Shiraz Cabernet 2018 offers a delightful expression of South Australian winemaking heritage.
