Preserving Legacies: Penfolds Re-Corking Clinic Returns to Hong Kong

A premier wine aftercare service for avid wine collectors will take place in the city this August.

Entire websites and innumerable columns are dedicated to the grape concerns of wine countries and their blushing residents who worry about their lot with the burning question: What happens to leftover wine? What does one do with an uncorked, vital varietal before it turns to vinegar? How does one preserve an opened bottle still brimming with promises?

Knocking on the reserves of Penfolds has once again proven to be enlightening, as the clever corks from Down Under are bringing back to Hong Kong a much-needed service not seen in the city since 2017: the Penfolds Re-Corking Clinic.

Penfolds Unveils Its Exclusive Grange La Chapelle 2021 Collaboration in Hong Kong

Penfolds and La Chapelle paint the town red with this rarefied limited edition.

Penfolds has unveiled its ultra-exclusive new wine, Grange La Chapelle 2021, now officially available in limited quantities in Hong Kong. A highly anticipated vintage, this release signifies an unprecedented collaboration in the world of viticulture, showcasing the artistry and innovation of two legendary winemakers: Peter Gago of Penfolds and Caroline Frey of La Chapelle, who proved that it does take two to tango.

Grange La Chapelle 2021 emerges from the deep-rooted friendship between Gago, chief winemaker of Penfolds Grange, and Frey, chief winemaker of La Chapelle in France, but their partnership is not merely a blending of wines—it is a celebration of culture, tradition, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Resulting from that is a pioneering 50/50 blend of French Syrah and Australian Shiraz, marrying the storied terroirs of Hermitage and South Australia in a way that has, as far as memory serves, never been accomplished before.

Lunar New Year 2025: 3 Luxurious Spirits to Celebrate the Year of the Snake

Penfolds, Hennessy, and Rémy Martin are serving in style with a generous pour.

Annually, we highlight Lunar New Year special-edition bottles from the finest brands in town. Last year, much was ballyhooed about the Year of the Dragon and the designer bottles that dropped; before that, the Year of the Rabbit saw a very special bottle, and Ruinart released a gorgeous artistic drop the year before that. Well, this Lunar New Year, artists and artisans have gone all out once again, collaborating with those who quench our thirst.

As the Lunar New Year approaches, the anticipation for exquisite offerings moves from slow sizzle to the full rage of red. Fine grapes are working overtime to deliver. It is the Year of the Wood Snake, after all, so tapping on those wooden casks and crates, we have found just the right timbre with Penfolds, Hennessy, and Rémy Martin.

Celebrating 180 Years, the Penfolds 2024 Collection is an Oenophile’s Arcadia

 

It’s time to paint the town Aussie red.

180 years of brand history is nothing to sniff at, and Australian wine producer Penfolds is marking the special occasion with a stellar 2024 collection.

Aptly named the Penfolds 2024 Collection, the anniversary release comprises the fruits of Australia, China, the US, and France’s labours, featuring 25 wines made from the greatest vineyards around the world, sourced and produced under the multi-regional Penfolds house style. Under the guidance of Penfolds senior winemaker Steph Dutton, we at Robb Report Hong Kong had the opportunity to sample some of the finest reds from the collection, including the Grange, Bin 704, FWT 585, CWT 521, and Bin 389—a personal favourite—certifying our long-held belief that Penfolds is indubitably Australia’s premier vintner.
