Chateau description: Penfolds is one of Australia’s oldest and most iconic wineries. Created in 1844 it is well known for producing heavy red wines. One of the first winery to have a multi-region and multi-wineries production.

5 Stones Vineyards vines are produced from a place of love, passion, and professionalism, without compromise. The vineyard of the winery which are located in the Adulam region are saturated with the faith, creativity, and courage of David, when he fought Goliath with five stones at his side. Like the land of the valley, so are our wines - unique, creative, and inspiring.

This original wine is a distinctive family blend-a hand crafted, homemade-style wine developed by our ancestors in sunny southern Italy over 100 years ago. Using Zinfandel, Alicante, and Muscat, we recreated the flavorful, fruity, full-bodied wines many Europeans enjoyed back home.

From our estate located on Highway 246 in the north corridor of the Sta. Rita Hills and planted in 2016, the soils here consist of Elder series loams over marine sedimentary rock below. The pinot noir sits to the eastern side, and also the upper slope of the field, on the darkest, most clay rich soils on the property which are most conducive to producing exceptional pinot noir.

Pinot Noir from limestone and decomposed granite soils of Enz Vineyard in Lime Kiln Valley (San Benito County). The Enz family has been farming this site since 1967 (the vineyard is also notable for Mourvedre, where the old vines date to 1895). The Pinot Noir vines were re-grafted onto much older roots in the 1980’s, and have been farmed organically without irrigation. The fruit was handpicked between August 24th and September 1st and fermented with 30% whole clusters. The wine was matured for 13-months in neutral barrels and puncheons, unfined/unfiltered.

Light-bodied and well-balanced, with a cool minerality and refreshing acidity. The relatively high acidity of Assyrtiko gives this easy-drinking white a crisp freshness.

Great with fish and seafood, pasta and light poultry.

Plum core, crimson rim with a glossy sheen. There is an otherworldly aromatic element that is hard to define, a natural result of two hemispheres united by one winemaking philosophy. The Arabian spice souk leads the charge: dark, savory spice blends – harissa, baharat, cloves, nutmeg, pimento, cinnamon, fennel, anise. Deli meats provide further appeal: pastrami, jamón ibérico, finocchiona. Generous fruits, fresh punnets of blackberry, cassis liqueur, dehydrated blood orange.

From the winemaker: In 1987, we made our first vintage of a wine styled after the famous First Growth producers of Bordeaux, created with the same uncompromising care as the Grands Vins of those venerable chateaux.
