Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold founded Penfolds wines in Magill in the outskirts of Adelaide, South Australia in 1845.
Through an obsession with quality and a commitment to producing fine wine, a tradition has evolved which has had a profound influence on the entire Australian industry and is recognised worldwide.
Penfolds is able to source quality fruit from a diverse range of vineyard sites, including some of the best and oldest vineyards in South Australia. This provides a tremendous resource which allows the company to achieve a consistency of style and quality.
Today, as well as upholding the traditions of the past, Penfolds is developing new regions, pioneering new grape varieties and refining winemaking techniques.
From the development of the iconic Penfolds Grange in the 1950s, the creation of the red wine portfolio in the 1960s through to today's winemaking trials, Penfolds distinct philosophy has resulted in international acclaim for both winemakers and wines.
Rawson's Retreat is named after Christopher Rawson Penfold's original stone cottage, which still stands among the vines at Magill Estate, in Adelaide, South Australia. The wines offer a classic Australian marriage of fruit power and structure.
The fruit is drawn from various South Australian wine regions, in particular, Padthaway, Langhorne Creek, Riverland and McLaren Vale.
