Introducing One by Penfolds. Designed in partnership with Human Made founder NIGO, One by Penfolds celebrates the idea of ‘oneness’. Oneness embraces what makes us all different and unique, but also the things that bring us together – as represented by the winemaking regions from where the One by Penfolds range is made around the world. Sourced from the 2022 vintage, fruit for One by Penfolds Cabernet Sauvignon was selected based on style and character from vineyards across South Australia and Western Australia.

A lovely complex nose, with charming notes of boysenberry and custard danish providing sweet notes. A suggestion of fresh bay leaf conjures an alluring herbal aroma. With a clear nod to the varietal, a further impression of tomato leaf and black currant reinforce the identity of the grape.
A generous, plush palate brimming with fruit. Fuji apples, blueberries, and wild raspberry provide the core, while preserved cranberries and pomegranate concentrate adds vibrancy. Juicy acidity balances the fruit, refreshing. A sensation of toasted brioche, no doubt derived from the oak maturation, brings it all together.
Home to the oldest vines in the country, and no less than 18 wine growing regions, South Australia accounts for almost 50% of Australia’s wine production. The Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek and Coonawarra are well known for their world class reds, with Adelaide Hills, Clare Valley and Eden Valley praised for their exceptional Chardonnay and Riesling.
Early winter rainfall was above average. In contrast, August and September were quite dry. However, soil moisture profiles were ideal for spring budburst. A series of low-pressure systems in October/November resulted in higher-than-average growing season rainfall. The season was generally cool, with just a handful of days recorded above 35°C. The prevailing conditions allowed for an orderly harvest with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes developing lovely varietal characters.
Key to the success of Penfolds has been a lineage of visionary winemakers. There have only ever been four Chief Winemakers at the helm of Penfolds – Max Schubert, Don Ditter, John Duval and Peter Gago, each a custodian of a rich winemaking tradition that goes back for more than 170 years.
Our current Penfolds winemaking team has more than 100 years between them as Penfolds winemakers. They are constantly refining and improving their work, whilst honouring the winemaking techniques of their predecessors.
