Leading winemaker Penfolds won a global wine “Oscar” in Paris this week just three months after it was snubbed in Australian wine awards.
Penfolds was named the best fine wine producer from 120 countries at the 2023 Golden Vines awards at a sumptuous dinner at the gilded Palais Garnier opera house that inspired the Phantom of the Opera ghost story and Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit musical.
Penfolds chief winemaker Peter Gago who was in Paris to receive the award said the third consecutive win gave the winery “all-star winner” status.“At once humbled, it was a great honour accepting the award in Paris on behalf of the entire Penfolds team – only two months shy of Penfolds 180th-Annivesary.
