Buying wine for a birthyear is becoming a real trend!
Just this week we had a client purchase 2 bottles of 1977 Penfolds Grange as a Birth year present. Every year we see people buying wine from significant birth years and also for major milestones. It made me think what a great idea it is to celebrate with the people you care about. Given this purchase, I thought I'd reminisce about the year this product was made
- In 1977, Penfolds began what was to be an almost twenty-year association with Sydney-based rugby league team, the St George Dragons as the club's primary sponsor. This association saw the Dragons play five 'home' games at the Adelaide Oval between 1991 and 1995, with the 1991 game attracting 28,884 fans. The Dragons, with Penfolds as their sponsor, would win the Sydney premiership in 1977 and 1979, while appearing in 1985, 1992 and 1993 Grand Finals.
- 1977 was the first Vintage made by the 2nd Chief Winemaker - Don Ditter following on from Max Schubert who stood down in 1976.
