Penfolds Winter Wine Dinner

Rosewood Kauri Cliffs will be a perfect setting for a Winter Wine Dinner, August 24, featuring an outstanding selection of iconic and rare Penfolds wines, hosted by the inimitable Peter Gago.

The evening will consist of a memorable 5-course “tasting menu”, where each sublime course will be matched to the very best of Penfolds wines, hosted by Penfolds’ own Peter Gago.

The British-Australian winemaker and author has been Chief Winemaker at Penfolds and custodian of Penfolds Grange since 2002. In his role as Chief Winemaker, Gago leads production of some of the world's most iconic wines, including the undisputed champion of Australian wine, Grange.

Gago was named 2005 Winemaker of the Year by Wine Enthusiast Magazine and 2012 Winemakers’ Winemaker of the Year by The Institute of Masters of Wine and international trade publication The Drinks Business. And these are just a few of the many accolades he’s received the world over.

The five course tasting menu will be prepared by the Rosewood Kauri Cliffs culinary team, matched to such iconic wines as Penfolds Yattarna, and not one but two vintages of Grange.

Some of the wines to be tasted over the weekend include:

2014 Penfolds X Thiénot Avize Blanc de Blancs Champagne
2008 or 2011 Yattarna
2010 St Henri
1990 & 2010 Grange
Great Grandfather Rare Liqueur Tawny
