Commemorating the entrepeneurial spirit of Dr. Penfold's son in law. Thomas Hyland's stewardship of Penfold from the late 1800s until 1914 saw the development of what, in his lifetime, became Australia's most famous name in wine. Essentially fruit driven, Thomas Hyland offers a contemporary expression of Cabernet structure and flavour, showing the classic varietal elements of bramble and cedar over fine grained tannins.
Penfolds are able to source quality fruit from a diverse range of vineyards, including some of the best and oldest sites across South Australia, a tremendous resource which leads to a remarkable consistency of style. Thomas Hyland combines the highly succesful Penfolds multi-district blending skills with a focus on rich and flavoursome contemporary styling. Depending on the vintage, components from Coonawarra or Langhorne Creek may be included in the final wine, while the addition of ripe, powerful McLaren Vale fruit and elegantly proportioned Robe Cabernet Sauvignon enhances the overall style. Thomas Hyland is matured in a combination of new and prior use French and American oak barrels.
TASTING NOTES
Deep red in colour with purple hues. The nose shows sweet ripe berries with hints of nutmeg and background oak. The wine captures plum, mocha coffee and vanillin flavours. A varietal lift of sweet blackcurrant, cassis and blueberry fruit, with hints of spice, boxwood and cigar. A firm palate, rich and generous with alluring varietal characters, yet one that shows the balanced Penfolds blending style. Subtle underlying French and American oak, chunky tannins on a long flavoursome finish.

About Penfolds Winery
Penfolds was founded by a young English doctor who migrated to one of his country's most distant colonies a century and a half ago
Dr Christopher Rawson Penfold was born in 1811, the youngest of 11 children. He studied medicine at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London, graduating in 1838. Like many doctors before and since, Dr Penfold had a firm belief in the medicinal value of wine. Before he left Britain he had obtained vine cuttings from the south of France and these were planted around the site of the modest stone cottage he built with his wife, Mary, at Magill on the outskirts of Adelaide in 1845. The couple called this house The Grange, after Mary's home in England. Penfolds»
