Detail Produk Penfolds Rawson’s Retreat Riesling 2011 750ml/12%

Launched in 1995, Rawson’s Retreat is the introductory level for Penfolds wines. The name Rawson’s Retreat is an informal reference to the stone cottage built in 1845 by Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold at the famous Magill vineyard in Adelaide, where – with wife Mary and daughter Georgina – he had settled the year before and was to soon establish the Penfolds winery, which still operates today.

The 2011 vintage was characterised by plentiful rains during Spring taking dam capacities near to or 100% full, however lower than average temperatures and abundant rainfall during the growing season, veraison and harvest produced a vintage that challenged both winemakers and viticulturists alike.
