The 2026 Penfolds Collection, set to be released globally on 6^th August, has been well received by critics across the world, according to the producer.

Both new vintages of Grange (2022) and Yattarna (2024) received perfect scores from Matthew Jukes following a tasting event, which offered critics the opportunity to preview wines from the 2026 Penfolds Collection. The tasting event coincided with celebrations in Europe for the 75^th anniversary of its flagship wine, Grange, hosted by chief winemaker, Peter Gago AC.

Commenting on the new release, Gago said: “The 2022 Grange assuredly authenticates its flagship role and 75^th Anniversary credentials. No pressure. Both timely and lucky to avail such a stellar vintage in such a symbolic year.”

The collection includes wines from Australia, the United States, France and China. Wines from the Penfolds Collection 2026 will be released in key markets globally from 6^th August 2026.
