Penfolds 50 Year Old Rare Tawny Port

From the beginning, almost 170 years ago, fortified wines were created by our forebears at Penfolds … and we have never stopped.” While the 50 Year Old Rare Tawny is the ultimate expression of the Penfolds fortified House Style, it is easily linked to the entire Tawny collection which comprises of Great Grandfather Rare Tawny NV, Grandfather Rare Tawny NV, Father Grand Tawny NV, Club Reserve Tawny NV and Club Tawny NV. Integrating the 1915 vintage component from Penfolds precious glass stock reserves means the 50 Year Old Rare Tawny carries a genetic connection to the earliest recorded vintage of Penfolds Grandfather Tawny.

The passion and technical skill of blowing glass by hand; the precision of the hand-turned wooden stoppers crafted from history-soaked timbers of old Penfolds fortified barrels; the painstaking hours of positioning and attaching each pewter crest and hand-twisting every muselet wire: these time-honoured artisanal skills have created a beautifully tailored receptacle for this long-awaited Tawny.
