For over 160 years, Penfolds have been a producer of the most memorable wines. By virtue of a commitment to producing nothing but the best, a tradition has evolved which has effected profound influence over the entire Australian industry. Max's presents the noble Cabernet Sauvignon in an approachable, fresh style for early enjoyment. The classic tour de force of power, structure and fruit, Max expresses opulent flavours over a fine structure and rich finish, put simply, the consumate early drinking Cabernet.

Max Schubert did more for the development of Australian Cabernet Sauvignon than any other winemaker. He was originally focused on Cabernet as the varietal of choice during his trials with the nascent vintages of Grange. The extensive expanse of Penfold vineyard resources have now been trained to yield parcels of the highest quality Cabernet Sauvignon, regardless of vintage conditions. Max is treated to a temperature controlled vinification on skins to develop the tannin profile, add structure and achieve balance while retaining fresh varietal characteristics. Upon completion of ferments, Max is filled to a selection of seasoned and new French oak barrels for a year's maturation.
