PENFOLDS MAX'S CHARDONNAY 750 ml

Description

Discover Penfolds Max’s Chardonnay, a white wine that honors the enduring influence of Max Schubert, Penfolds’ Chief Winemaker from 1948 to 1975. His relentless drive elevated the winery’s reputation, inspiring generations of winemakers to push boundaries. This Chardonnay carries forward that innovative spirit within Penfolds’ white wine lineup, reflecting Schubert’s experimental approach through every sip.

The 2018 vintage greets the eye with a pale straw tone. Aromas emerge gently: ripe stone fruits such as yellow peach and nectarine lead, mingled with soft citrus breezes. Swirl the glass to reveal delicate florals like jasmine and white rose petals, accented by a whisper of ginger. Subtle oak integrates seamlessly, adding a nutty nougat layer without overpowering.

On the palate, vibrant stone fruit and citrus notes dance alongside grapefruit pith for a bright, refreshing core. A creamy texture evokes crème brûlée, infused with French oak that persists smoothly. The finish introduces a flinty minerality, like wet stone and chalk, paired with a distinctive waxy phenolic edge that lingers intriguingly.

Crafted in Australia from premium Chardonnay grapes, this 750 ml bottle delivers 13% ABV potency in a balanced profile ideal for elevating dinners or quiet evenings. At Penfolds, tradition meets forward-thinking style in Max’s Chardonnay—perfect for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a piece of winemaking history. Pour a glass and connect with the legacy that shaped Australian white wines.

Whether pairing with seafood or enjoying solo, its nuanced layers reward exploration. Secure your bottle of this evocative Chardonnay and taste the evolution of excellence firsthand.
