About Penfolds
Penfolds was founded in South Australia in 1844 by an English physician who planted vines to make fortified wine for his patients. Its Grange, first made experimentally in 1951 and initially disliked by the company's own management, became the most collected Australian wine and the reference point for the country's reputation in fine wine.

About the owner: Treasury Wine Estates
Treasury Wine Estates is a publicly listed company headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, founded in 2011. Brandtree records 7 brands under its control, and it is listed as ASX: TWE.
Treasury Wine Estates is one of the largest wine companies in the world, holding Australian, Californian, New Zealand and Italian labels in a single portfolio. It was created in 2011 when Foster's Group separated its wine business from its beer business and listed it, ending an experiment in owning both. Its Penfolds label anchors a luxury tier that the company has increasingly separated, in strategy and in reporting, from its commercial wine brands.
