Penfolds Max’s Chardonnay is a tribute to former Chief Winemaker Max Schubert 1948-1975, a legend in Penfolds history. Max’s constant pursuit of excellence paved the way for those who followed in his footsteps and also allowed the status and heritage of Penfolds to grow. Max’s Chardonnay continues the evolution of the Penfolds white wine program, drawing inspiration from the legacy and spirit of the many winetrials of Max Schubert, a Penfolds winemaking legend. Light straw in color. Subtle stone fruits, yellow peach, nectarine and faint wafts of citrus are foremost on the nose. Upon further swirling, hints of floral notes shine through, jasmine and white rose petal perfume, and a touch of ginger spice. Oak is present, but in balance and offering a nutty/nougat nuance. Fresh flavors of stone fruit, citrus and grapefruit pith. Creamy, crème brulee-like French oak lingers with a lovely flinty, wet stone/chalky acid line, closing out with an intriguing waxy phenolic finish.
