Introducing One by Penfolds. Designed in partnership with Human Made founder NIGO, One by Penfolds celebrates the idea of ‘oneness’. Oneness embraces what makes us all different and unique, but also the things that bring us together – as represented by the winemaking regions from where the One by Penfolds range is made around the world. The 2021 Red Blend made in the United States showcases fruit blended from multiple vineyards across California.
This Penfolds release is in partnership with NIGO - a leading creative Japanese fashion designer and entrepreneur, who founded lifestyle brand Human Made and was artistic director of Kenzo.

A range of wines, with the label designed by NIGO – the crocodile, rooster, panda, and bear — match the regional nuances captured in each of the bottles that were crafted in Australia, France, China, and America, respectively.

Appearance:
Medium plum and pink brightness at the rim.

Nose:
A delightfully aromatic nose. Bright raspberry and pouring cream. Lifted lavender and violets are complemented by scents of orange blossom and hibiscus.

Palate:
Baking spices of nutmeg and cinnamon, integrated with pannacotta like creaminess. Forest fruits, blackberry and bramble. Tannins are finely focused. Immediate succulence and very moreish.

Vintage Conditions:
The 2021 Californian vintage was one of the finest in years. The growing season began with a relatively dry, cold winter. Spring was warm, encouraging vine vigour and a successful budburst and flowering. Summer temperatures were moderate, ideal for slow ripening. Rainfall was low, which had an impact on yields. Although quantities were smaller than usual, the quality of the fruit was excellent. The long growing season had concentrated flavour, retaining crucial aromatics and fine acidity.
