Description
Their wine-making history dates back to 1844, but it really began with a red sports car in 1945.
It was a collision of hearts and minds, a collision that had been 100 years in the making – refined and distilled from two pioneering winemaking families.
When Reginald Lester Tolley rolled up to a function in his red sports car, Judith Anne Penfold Hyland was suitably impressed by the car and rather taken by the man behind the wheel.
Sparks flew, romance blossomed and Penley was conceived (as a business name) in 1947 after Reginald and Judith married.
However, it wasn’t until 1988 that the Penley name came to life, that it finally bore fruit, so to speak.
That’s when they (the children of Reginald and Judith) decided to create their own wines – put their own label on tradition.
The 2020 vintage of Penley Estates Tolmer is a modern expression of Coonawarra cabernet showcasing intense blackcurrants and savoury notes of French oak.
It’s medium-bodied without being heavy and has a generous core of juicy fruits with well-integrated chalky tannins.
The seamless finish rounds off a bright, fragrant wine that can be enjoyed now or cellared for a few more years.
