Peter Gago heads the Penfolds winemaking team. He was named the best winemaker in the world in 25. A man on a pedestal in the wine world, you might think, but the attractive thing about him is that he always puts the wines of Penfolds at the center of attention, not himself. Gago: Those who want to make wine at Penfolds should not feel the need to express their ego in the wine. Penfold's style stands and you are hired to guard that style. Penfold's top wine Grange, a collector's item, is the soul. As soon as the folks at Penfolds notice that wine fashions are changing, there will be an answer. Nothing is changed at Penfolds Grange, ever, but countless other Penfolds wines have been created. Penfolds Rawsons Retreat - the label with smooth, affordable everyday wines - is one example.
