Description:
Penfolds Grandfather Rare Tawny is a distinguished fortified wine from South Australia, embodying over a century of Penfolds' winemaking expertise. Originating in 1915, it was initially reserved for the Penfolds family and aptly named "Grandfather" due to the age of the oldest tawnies in the blend.
