海外セレブ絶賛ワイン①ヒュー・ジャックマンが愛する「ペンフォールズ・グランジ」とは
Have you ever wondered what kind of wine foreign celebrities usually drink? If a wine is praised by a wine-loving overseas celebrity, it's bound to be delicious. This time, I would like to introduce the wine that Hugh Jackman, a leading actor in the movie industry, loves. Hugh Jackman is a popular and talented actor who starred in the musical films "Les Misérables" and "The Greatest Showman." The wine he loves is...Grange from Penfolds, Australia.

What is Hugh Jackman's acclaimed wine ``Penfolds Grange''?

Hugh Jackman, who is from Australia, seems to enjoy drinking wine from his homeland of Australia. Among them, Penfolds Grange is praised as one of the best Australian wines. "Penfolds Grange" is a wine produced by the world's top winery, "Penfolds". First, let me introduce a little bit about Penfolds.

Penfolds, the world's highest winery

Penfolds is a historic winery founded in 1844 in Magia, Australia. Originally, Dr. Christopher Lawson Penfold, a doctor who immigrated from England, and his wife, Mary, started making "fortified wine" for medical purposes. It started from. While the winery was passed down from wife to son-in-law, in the 1950s winemaking shifted from fortified wine to focus on still wine. I'll go. And now, more than 175 years have passed since Penfolds was founded. Recognized around the world as a New World wine, it has won numerous awards, including Wine & Spirits magazine's "Winery of the Year" award 28 times, the most ever. Awarded. It has earned a reputation as one of the world's finest wineries.

Penfolds' signature wine ``Grange'' is highly praised by Hugh Jackman.

Grange is Penfolds' signature wine. Grange is one of the world's best wines, attracting wine lovers including Hugh Jackman. It was also selected as one of the ``12 Greatest Wines of the 20th Century'' by the US magazine Wine Spectator. Grange was first created in 1951, more than 70 years ago. It was created by Max Schubert, the chief winemaker at the time, who was impressed after traveling to Bordeaux. Grange is characterized by Penfolds' wine-making philosophy of ``multi-region, multi-varietal''. Winemakers (wine producers) go to various vineyards without being bound by division, region, or variety. From there, we choose the best grapes and blend them to create the best wine...that kind of attention to detail is the Penfolds style. Furthermore, winemaking is strictly controlled by the chief winemaker (the person in charge of winemaking). Penfolds has a long history spanning over 175 years, but there have only been four chief winemakers over the years! ! "Penford's Grange" is produced using carefully selected grapes using a carefully selected method under the management of the chief winemaker who is a wine specialist. If you like wine, this is a bottle you'll want to try someday.

Penfolds wine (we also have affordable wines!)

Penfolds' ``Grange'' is a top wine that you should try at least once, but the price is also high-end. If you're thinking, "It's just not affordable," don't worry. Penfolds wines aren't just about grunge. The easiest ones are even series that can be purchased for around 1,000 yen. I would like to introduce three recommended series from Penfolds wines other than Grunge.

Penfolds Wine ① Top-quality Chardonnay white wine “Yattana”

This "Yattana" was completed under the project of "making white wine comparable to Grange". Only the finest Chardonnays are selected from Australia's cooler regions. Yattana is an Australian Aboriginal word meaning "little by little". It represents the hard work of generations of Penfolds winemakers. I love white wine!

Penfolds Wine ② Elegant premium red wine “St. Henri Shiraz”

St. Henri is another of Penfolds' signature red wines. In the 1960s, it was sold at a higher price than grunge. Ageing is done in old vats that have been in use for decades, minimizing oak character for a lighter, more elegant style than grunge. Masu. This wine is blended with some Cabernet Sauvignon, but focuses more on Shiraz. St. Henri Shiraz from Penfolds, Australia's highest winery. A red wine recommended for Syrah lovers.

Penfolds wine ③ “Kununga Hill” can be enjoyed at an affordable price

We have Penfolds' representative grapes such as Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay, so if you are new to wine, please try Kununga Hill. . My personal recommendation from the Kununga Hill series is definitely Shiraz.
