Penfolds is proud to make its debut as The Official Wine Partner of the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards season. This is the first time the brand has partnered with the Television Academy to provide their prized wines to Emmy nominees, presenters and members of the Television Academy. To celebrate, each Primetime Emmy winner will receive a bottle of Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz in a commemorative wooden box, specially engraved with his or her name.
Penfolds Bin 389 Cabernet Shiraz is often referred to as ‘Baby Grange’, as components of the wine are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Penfolds flagship wine, Grange (SRP $850.00U.S.) Penfolds Grange is one of the most collected wines of the world today, and one signed bottle of the 1951 (first vintage) was recently purchased for $65,000AUD.

ABOUT PENFOLDS:
Australia’s winemaking history of less than two hundred years is brief by European measures, though, like Europe, punctuated by periods of extreme success and difficult times. From the earliest winemaking days Penfolds has figured prominently and few would argue the importance of Penfolds influence on Australia’s winemaking psyche. Without the influence of Penfolds the modern Australian wine industry would look very different indeed. Sitting comfortably outside of fad and fashion, Penfolds has taken Australian wine to the world on a grand stage and forged a reputation for quality that is without peer.
